6.12.2022 - Privacy

Privacy by Nina Sadowsky 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Ballantine/Bantam Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Nina Sadowsky - 4 stars!

Dr Lania Landers is a therapist in practice with another therapist at their company, Better Life.  When one of her marriage therapy patients holds his wife hostage and threatens to shoot her, she is able to talk him down.  A journalist, Cal Murray, is on hand and records the scene, thrusting her into the limelight as well as Cal's own personal interest.  But then several of Lania's patients receive threatening notes and packages with the words "Watching You."  

Don't read too much about this one before starting it - it's more fun to figure it out on your own.  The story plays out with interspersed passages from The Watcher, giving all kinds of creepy vibes.  This is a cautionary tale of how much of our life is public and how much of our privacy we willingly sign away to all our apps, the internet, and our smart technology.  In the wrong hands, any part of our privacy can be exploited.  A fast, intriguing read!
