Allison Brennan’s "I'll Be Watching You" is an entertaining, fast-paced romantic suspense novel. Told through the multiple perspectives of the Angelhart family, its unpredictable twists and turns engaged me throughout, to its satisfying conclusion. I especially enjoyed the strong family dynamics, the romance, and the underlying military theme. Narrator Hillary Huber does a wonderful job bringing the characters to life.

This third book in the Angelhart Investigations series brings a satisfying resolution to the family mystery that has been building since the first novel. The investigation into the father’s murder confession hits high gear here as the family untangles a dangerous medical conspiracy within the VA hospital system. While there is a bit of repetitive backstory to catch up new readers, I recommend reading the series in order to get the full impact of the payoff. The plot moves fast, the stakes feel dangerous, and it delivers a solid conclusion for anyone who has followed this family from the start.

"I'll Be Watching You" is another gripping addition to the Angelhart Investigations Series. This time, Margo and her family are finally forced to confront with the mystery surrounding her father’s imprisonment. The tough questions Margo has been asking can no longer be ignored, and the stakes couldn’t be higher—the lives of everyone and everything they care about are on the line. As an innocent is murdered, Margo and her family can no longer ignore that Cooper Angelhart's confession was bogus, and a real murderer is still out there. The real challenge: with little to go on Margo and her siblings need to find the true killer. This book was packed with action, intrigue, family drama, and a touch of romance, "I’ll Be Watching You" is an engaging and satisfying read.
Margo is now working for the family business. After three and a half years of being estranged from her family, Margo is now happy to be back with them. She has put her father's confession to a murder on the back burner, but when a nurse that worked with both Dr. Cooper Angelhart and the doctor he confessed to murdering, contacts her she is forced to pay attention once again. When the nurse is murdered, Margo is determined to get answers, even if it means ripping her family apart.
Margo's first step is getting her mother, Ava, to finally tell them exactly what happened and why Cooper confessed to a murder he didn't commit. When Cooper is transferred in the dead of night to a Supermax facility even Ava knows it is time for the truth to come out.
The Angelhart family are not premier private investigators for nothing and now they are all focused on getting to the bottom of what now appears to be a deadly conspiracy with reputations and a lot of money as reasons to kill to keep their secrets.
My thanks to the Publisher, and Author, for providing a complimentary digital Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of this novel via NetGalley. This is my fair, honest and personal review. All opinions are mine alone and were not biased in any way.

Review of advance copy received from Publisher
Three and a half years ago, Margo Angelhart's father, Cooper, confessed to murdering a fellow doctor. Margo never believed he was guilty, but neither Cooper nor her mother, Ava, would explain why he confessed. After leaving the family PI firm over the disagreement, Margo is finally back working with her family.
When a nurse from Cooper's past contacts Margo with potential evidence, she's murdered before she can talk. At the same time, Cooper is unexpectedly transferred to a maximum-security prison. As the danger escalates, Ava finally reveals the truth behind Cooper's confession, putting the entire family at risk.
I'm a big fan of Allison Brennan's mysteries, and I'll Be Watching You delivers another compelling mix of likable characters, suspense, and page-turning twists. As the culmination of a mystery that's been building since the first book, this installment brings long-awaited answers while keeping the tension high.
The investigation is both methodical and urgent, with ongoing personal storylines. Margo and DEA agent Cal continue to grow closer, while hints of a romance between Nate and Luisa add another layer of interest.
I alternated between the audiobook and e-book and can recommend either. Hillary Huber gives another excellent performance, bringing both the characters and suspense to life. She's one of my favorite narrators, and her performance continues to elevate this series!

3.5⭐️
So ultimately, I moderately enjoyed this, but it was a bit of a bumpy ride. Why? For two main reasons.
First, I figured everything out well beforehand, so I felt like I was just along for the ride. An entertaining ride, but I never found it particularly suspenseful. Not every thriller has to be, of course, but the description does promise suspense, so I was expecting a little more.
Second, there are too many characters and subplots, which made it difficult to focus on the main threads. I spent so much time trying to keep everything and everyone straight that I couldn’t fully engage with the overall plot.
That being said, I did enjoy quite a bit of this, particularly the beginning, when the family is trying to sort out their parent’s secrets. This is the third book in the series, but they can all be read as standalones. It absolutely stood on its own, but I do think having the knowledge from the previous books would have helped with keeping everything straight. A lot of the information and character history would already have been familiar to the reader, allowing them to focus more on what makes this particular book unique instead of feeling overwhelmed by everything being introduced.
I read the audiobook, and while I enjoyed narrator Hillary Huber very much and thought she did a great job, I think the way this was written made me wish I had read the text instead. I plan to read it again once I receive a print copy, but I wanted to share my initial reaction.
I am thankful to Hive for giving me complimentary access to this ALC to read ahead of publication.
If you enjoy police-procedural-style mysteries with a familiar twist, this may be right up your alley, and I think you’ll get more out of it than I did.

Fast pace and non-stop action is at the center of this Angelhart thriller. New evidence in a murder case has the family scrambling to track down clues and get Cooper out of prison for a crime he didn’t commit. I liked the energy of the family members as they worked towards a single goal, especially the fact that each of them had a talent to use in pursuit of justice. The plot is complex but well written and easy to read. The characters were compelling and believable and the entire book was riveting.

Margo Angelhart is a PI investigating her own father Cooper’s guilty plea to murder. What she uncovers? A deadly conspiracy that puts her whole family in the crosshairs.
This is the book the series has been building to, and it delivered! Watching the formerly estranged Angelhart family team up to chase down the truth and clear Cooper's name was so satisfying. I pieced a few things together early, but I loved every second of listening to it all unfold.
🎧 Audiobook Thoughts: Hillary Huber does it again! Her Ava portrayal is heartbreaking, a mom desperate to protect her adult kids but also wanting her innocent husband home. Huber conveys Margo’s fierce determination, and just the right softness for Margo’s new romance. And she juggled every POV flawlessly, I never once missed not having a full cast.
Please tell me this isn't goodbye to the Angelharts. I'd read a dozen more books about this family and their Pl firm!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the early copy of this book.
I always enjoy Margo and her family, and I liked how the whole family was incorporated into this plan to prove her father's innocence. I also liked how the side characters - like Nate - were given more present roles in the story. Honestly, my only complaint is that I feel that the Rick x Margo storyline was written off too abruptly. I do like the relationship with Cal, but Rick was described as someone Margo considered marrying. That just doesn't seem like someone she would forget about in two months, well at least not in my opinion. However, I think Cal fits better with the family so perhaps it is better to let it lie. All in all, I think this is a great addition to the Angelhart Investigations series.

I've been enjoying the Angelhart Investigations series, and this book finally answers the question about the patriarch that was started in the first book. For that reason, it is important to read this series in order. Margo Angelhart has recently rejoined her family’s PI business, but she never forgot the reason she walked away. Three and a half years ago, her father, Dr. Cooper Angelhart, pled guilty to killing his colleague, but Margo never believed he did it. Her mother refused to help get him off, and Margo walked away. Now a nurse that used to work with Cooper contacts Margo with information. Before Margo meets with her, she and her husband are killed, and Cooper is transferred to a maximum security prison in a different state, in the middle of the night. Ava finally shares the reason Cooper confessed to a murder he didn't commit. They are worried that something is going to happen to Cooper, so the whole family gets to work to clear his name. It's not going to be easy, as someone has already killed to keep a secret and they won't stop even if it is an Angelhart.
I will start by saying that this was a satisfying conclusion to the overreaching arc of Cooper Angelhart, and I was glad to see it come to an excellent end. I do hope that this doesn't mean the series is over though. The Angelharts are a great family. They all have different skills and jobs that work together to solve the cases they work on. They are also very likable and I enjoy seeing the interact with one another. Even though Tess, the youngest still deals with a feeling that she doesn't fit in with her siblings, she is getting better. The case of the drug trials and VA hospital was very realistic and that helped to pull me into the story. It was definitely fast paced and there were lots of ups and down, twists and turns as the case moves forward. Greed is a huge motivator for so many people, and that is definitely the motive in this book. If you enjoy a good thriller with great characters and a well written story, then I recommend the Angelhart Investigations. Hillary Huber is one of my favourite narrators and she does an excellent job with this story. With the numerous characters of different ages and both male and female, you would think there was more than one narrator. I really enjoyed listening to this story.

I jumped into this series in Don't Say A Word, the second book. While it was very readable as a standalone and explained that Margo's dad was in prison for a murder she (and many others) did not think he did, I missed some of the context of her joining the family PI firm.
I'll Be Watching You is set a few months after that book. Margo is settling into life with a boyfriend and kitten when she receives a phone call from a nurse who worked with her father with evidence that could help. But she is murdered as Margo is waiting to meet her. With more lives on the line, Margo's parents finally come clean on why her dad confessed to a crime he didn't commit and they all start investigating it even as threats come their way.
As with the previous book, it has a fairly large cast of characters and they are quite similar. Margo's brother is an ex-cop, her boyfriend is DEA. Margo and her younger sister are veterans. Her other brother works in the crime lab so stands out a little more but his partner is an FBI agent who spends a lot of time with the family as they investigate. It can get a little confusing following which one is doing what through the book.
We also see some of it through the real killer's POV as he struggles with killing an innocent woman to cover up the crimes and how they set up the original murder of Cooper Angelhart's friend and coworker.
The book closes a number of storylines as Margo and her mom get over the lies told and distance it caused. She introduces Cal to her family. Tess, her sister, is planning her wedding as the others try to find their place as the threats end and they are moving on with their lives.

Margo (and by default, her family) finally get the answers to what happened with her dad and why he's in prison. Once all was revealed, it's stupid and of course at the root of things was money. Looking at the info that Cooper had at the time, he made the only decision he could live with, even if it was hard and he was lying. So glad the truth came out and the family is back together again.

Too much copaganda
Review of advance copy received from Publisher
I’ve enjoyed other books by this author, so I had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately, it completely fell flat for me.
The premise sounded so promising, but I struggled to stay engaged from the beginning. The audio didn’t help, and the plot holes made it even harder to get into the story. By the end, I was mostly just trying to finish it.
This one simply didn’t work for me. It’s always disappointing when a book sounds like it has everything you’ll love, only to leave you feeling completely underwhelmed.

The Angelheart Investigations series is one of my absolute favorite series. Book 3 shows that this series is only getting better - and it has been fantastic from the start.
I am not going to share a lot of details about the plot of this one - I highly recommend that you start with Book 1 of this series. In this book, the Angelheart Family is dealing with a very personal case. They are trying to solve a case that is very close to home.
I really loved the different chapters from the point of views of different characters. Margot is my favorite character in this series, but I loved the opportunity to get to know others. This case wrapped up in a very satisfying way. I hope to read so much more about this family.
Part of this story focuses on United States Veterans. The author tells their stories with respect and care. It is a true reminder of the responsibility we have to care for them after their service.
Thank you so much to NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing, and Hanover Square Press for the opportunity to read this one early. It releases in September 15th - start this series today!

Angelhart Investigations continues as Margo remains determined to clear her father’s name and uncover why he pleaded guilty to a crime he didn’t commit.
The story is told from several different points of view. Since each chapter begins with the character’s name, it is easy to keep track of who is narrating and doesn’t become confusing.
Overall, it’s a good story. It felt a little slow at times, but the mystery kept me interested, and I think many readers will enjoy it.

Review of advance copy received from Edelweiss+
I'll Be Watching You By Allison Brennan is a very highly recommended investigative procedural and the third novel in the Angelhart Private Investigators series. It was a pleasure to follow Margot and the Angelhart family in another investigation.
Private investigator Margo Angelhart has recently rejoined her family's PI business, but she is still determined to prove that her father Dr. Cooper Angelhart did not kill Dr. Devin Klein. When Liz Swanson, a nurse who worked with Dr. Cooper, has a patient's entire chart disappear, she mentions it to Georgia Rollins, who was a part of Margo's earlier investigation. Georgia encourages Liz to call Margo. The two agree to meet the next morning, but Liz and her husband are murdered right as they are leaving for the meeting.
Margo visits her father in prison after this to see if he will tell her the truth now. He encourages her to talk to her mother, Ava. Then, without warning, Cooper is transferred to a Federal Supermax prison in Colorado at 2 am. Finally, Ava tells the truth. Cooper confessed to the murder to protect his family. Apparently Dr. Devin Klein was murdered after he discovered falsified data from a drug trial, including patients who had their adverse reactions removed from their files. Cooper's family was directly threatened, so he confessed to the murder to protect them. Now the killer is back and the family's investigation to clear Cooper's name will make them all targets.
This is another well-written, compelling, complicated, and intricate investigation in a fast-paced plot. Margot and her whole family with Angelhart investigations work well together, logically follows clues while uncovering a deadly conspiracy. Those involved with the coverup seemingly will do anything, including murder, to keep the falsified data and adverse reactions secret. There are plenty of clues to follow and Margo and her family quickly realize that the danger to the whole family is exponentially growing with each new discovery.
At this point I'm well acquainted with all the characters. They are realistically portrayed as complicated individuals with strengths and some flaws. Margo is tenacious, intelligent, and very intuitive. She has plenty of discernment and can really read people and get them to open up to her when talking to them. Margo's relationship with Cal Rafferty, a DEA agent, is growing.
Even though this is the third book in the series enough background is provided that it can be enjoyed as a standalone novel, but those following the series will, perhaps, enjoy it more as they know the characters and the background information. As a family business, Angelhart Investigations consists of, in part, Margo, an experienced P.I., her brother Jack, a former police detective, her sister Tess, who excels at research, and her mother, Ava, a former county attorney and prosecutor.
I'll Be Watching You is an excellent choice for everyone who enjoys intricate investigations featuring a tenacious P.I. Thanks to Hanover Square Press for providing me with an advance reader's copy via Edelweiss. My review is voluntary and expresses my honest opinion.

As a family business, Angelhart Investigations consists of, in part, Margo, an experienced P.I., her brother Jack, a former police detective, her sister Tess, who excels at research, and her mother, Ava, a former county attorney and prosecutor.
I'll Be Watching You is an excellent choice for everyone who enjoys intricate investigations featuring a tenacious P.I. Thanks to Hanover Square Press for providing me with an advance reader's copy via Edelweiss. My review is voluntary and expresses my honest opinion.

Review copy was received from the Publisher. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I read quickly and easily. Finally we are getting at the heart of the family and Margo's rift with her mother. Margo gets a call from a nurse who worked with her dad. Maybe Margo can finally solve the crime which put her father in prison.
The Angelhart Investigations series is fast paced and the investigations are gritty but smart. Margo has plenty of less than normal sources of information. Plus she stakes out some things or plays a role when interviewing witnesses and suspects. She rarely gets into trouble with the law because of all her connections, but the bad guys don't hesitate to go after her. I love the family.
I'll Be Watching You has things finally breaking for Margo but with no less danger. The nurse agrees to talk to her and ends up dead. Her death has a cataclysmic effect. Margo is no longer willing to accept that her dad doesn't know anything. She pushes her mother, her father, the assistant to the doctor who was murdered and refuses to stop. She knows her parents thought if her dad confessed that everything would end and no people would be killed. Now if the killer is not stopping, the truth needs to come out.
I love Margo. Her family supports her this time, even though her mother and father still fight her initially. But when there is a threat against her dad they finally agree. Margo also has great support from the DEA agent, Cal she met in the last big case. They are building their relationship during this investigation. Cal also is an awesome cook. As a federal agent, he does have skills and resources and so he backs her up on some dangerous interviews.
Tess and Louisa dig into the computer side trying to figure out the financial motives and connections. Margo and Jack and sometimes Louisa are out interviewing witnesses. Quincy, Niko's boyfriend is being the bodyguard for her mother and other family members as needed. The family ups their security during the investigation.
I just wanted to keep reading! There was great action and twisty bits of information, along with emotional family and relationship moments. These are amazing characters with skills and passion. I can't wait to see their next adventure.
Narration:
Hillary Huber is one of my favorites. It takes me a minute to settle because I have heard her perform so many different characters. I was comfortable with her voice for Margo and the others; she is the characters for me. Her storytelling really enhanced my enjoyment. I listened at my usual 1.5x speed.

Review of advance copy received from Publisher
Allison Brennan just knows how to write a solid mystery. I’ll Be Watching You is the third Angelhart Investigations book, and apparently I decided starting with book three was a perfectly reasonable life choice. 😂 The good news? I enjoyed it so much that now I need to go back and read the first two.
The mystery centers around Margo Angelhart and the question that has been hanging over her family for more than three years: why did her father confess to a murder Margo is convinced he didn’t commit? When someone connected to his old case reaches out to Margo and then winds up murdered, suddenly that question becomes much more dangerous.
And from there… things get wild.
I loved the twists and turns in this one. Every time I thought I had a decent handle on where Brennan was taking the story, another piece of information shifted everything slightly sideways. There are secrets underneath secrets, people who definitely know more than they’re saying, and that wonderful mystery-reader feeling of constantly wondering, Okay, but who can I actually trust here?
What surprised me, though, was how invested I became in the Angelhart family itself. The family dynamics add so much more emotional weight to the investigation because clearing Cooper’s name isn’t simply another case for them. This is their father. Their husband. Their family history. And everyone has been carrying the fallout differently.
I especially liked the tension surrounding Ava and everything she has kept from her children. I understood Margo’s frustration with her, because seriously… WOMAN, TALK. 😂 But those secrets also made the family relationships much more complicated and interesting than they would have been if everyone had simply joined forces from page one.
There is a lot happening as the investigation expands into something much bigger than one murder, but the story kept me engaged throughout. Brennan balances the investigation, danger, family relationships, and conspiracy without losing the mystery that started everything.
And now I’m left with a completely different problem.
I need books one and two.
Apparently reading a series in numerical order is merely a suggestion. 🤷🏻♀️
🌹 Floral Verdict: A Rose
A twisty, satisfying mystery with a family at its center and enough secrets and surprises to keep me happily guessing. Definitely recommended for readers who enjoy investigative mysteries where solving the crime is deeply personal.

In I’ll Be Watching You, Allison Brennan delivers a gripping thriller centered on private investigator Margo Angelhart and her family’s investigation into a case that hits very close to home. Margo is determined to prove that her father, Dr. Cooper Angelhart, is innocent of murdering his colleague. She refuses to stop searching for answers until he is pardoned and released from prison.
Margo has had an interesting past. She is former military, and after leaving the service, she worked as a bartender for awhile. She eventually earned her PI license and struck out on her own. Unfortunately, she had very few clients and struggled to make ends meet. After being estranged from her family, one of her cases brought her together with her brother Jack, a detective and also a PI and member of the family business, Angelhart Investigations. Before long, Margo joined the family agency.
Work has is now keeping Margo busy, but something even more important has her attention: clearing her father’s name. Margo is contacted by one of her father’s former colleagues, Liz, who tells her about a particular medical record that might help prove Cooper did not commit the murder. But before Margo can meet with Liz, she and her husband are brutally murdered. To make matters even more complicated, Cooper is suddenly transferred to a prison in another state.
The shocks don’t end there. Margo discovers that her mother, Ava, has been keeping a devastating secret from the family - one that could explain why Cooper confessed to a crime he didn’t commit. Because Ava knows the reason behind his confession, Margo and the rest of the Angelhart Investigations team finally come together to clear Cooper’s name.
But the fight to prove her father’s innocence leads to something much bigger. The deeper Margo and her family dig, the closer they come to uncovering dangerous secrets. Meanwhile, Margo’s new relationship is going well, adding another personal dimension to the story. There are secrets, deception, murder, and people with plenty to lose if the past is exposed. As the danger escalates and the stakes become increasingly personal, Margo must rely on her investigative skills and the people closest to her to uncover the truth before someone else pays the ultimate price.
Many thanks to Hanover Square Press and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

PI Margo Angelhart has finally rejoined the family's investigation business. Margo has settled in for the most part, she is now part of a team whereas before she was on her own. There is still one thing that Margo continues to investigate, her father's murder conviction. She knows that he is innocent. A nurse, who worked with her father, reaches out, but before they can meet the nurse and her husband are killed. Things become even more suspicious when her father is transferred in the middle of the night to a to a penitentiary out of state. It is time for Ava, Margo's mom, to tell the family the truth.
This is a fast paced mystery, but the real enjoyment is how the family works together to uncover the secrets and corruption that put Dr. Cooper Angelhart in the position that he now finds himself. There are multiple POVs, but by and large, Margo's is the main voice. The Angelharts are all well developed characters. There is some romance as the relationship between Margo and DEA Agent Cal Rafferty is moving along.
If you are a fan of this series, you will not be disappointed. The author provides enough background that this can be read as a stand-alone, but I recommend reading the previous books for a complete backstory on the Angelharts and their family dynamics, especially Margo's.

I'll Be Watching You by talented mystery writer Allison Brennan is a novel everyone should read. Margot Angelheart is a private investigator. Her burning desire is to prove that her dad did not kill a doctor by the name of Klein. A nurse who worked with Margot's dad is looking for a missing chart. The chart is central to Margot's investigation. But before Margot meets the nurse, the nurse and her husband are murdered.
Margot decides to visit her dad in prison. Her dad suggests that Margot speak to her mom. The next day, Margot's dad is transferred to a high-security prison. You get the idea that I'll Be Watching You is a twisty, unpredictable mystery filled with characters driven by their own motives and desires. Margot decides to find out who killed the person who was going to deliver these papers to her. Readers will discover that I'll Be Watching You deals with murder, pharmaceutical data, and other unspeakable crimes. Readers will keep turning the pages until the very end, waiting for another episode in the Angelhart Investigation Series. Meanwhile, readers should familiarize themselves with the previous Angelhart entries, as they add rich and essential background to this hopefully long-lasting, outstanding PI series.

Highly addictive from start to finish! The Angelhearts have been doing a fine job of wrapping themselves around reader's hearts, so getting to the center of what really happened with dad Cooper all those years ago is really rewarding. This book is filled with heart, redemption and so much mystery. I love that Margo stood tall in her faith about her dad, and seeing her finally get some answers just feels right. The family as a whole is great and I know there is so much more to build on for them all and hope we will continue to join them as one mystery after another comes into their lives as their family settles back into a peace they've been greatly missing. Well developed characters, a fairly good follow through of keeping a reader up to date on past happenings even if they are starting with this book in the series and great chemistry as they right wrongs.
I highly recommend this book as well as the rest in the series to anyone who enjoys a tight knit family of investigators who have had their share of ups and downs in life and with each other but always stand behind one another when the going gets tough. Great intrigue and relationships.

I recently came across author Allison Brennan and quickly became a fan! With great characters and meaty and suspense filled story lines, her books are the type I like to settle in and spend an undisturbed day with.
I’ll Be Watching You is one of those books that grabbed my attention from the very beginning and did not let go. This gripping story told from multiple points of was woven together to create a mystery packed full of twists and turns that will keep the read on his or her toes!
Book number 3 in the Angelhart Investigations series, I’ll Be Watching You can be read as a standalone, though after reading more about book one and two, I wish I had started at the beginning and worked my way through allowing me to develop a deeper connection with the characters and become familiar with more of the back story. Standalone or series, it is a great read either way but why read one when you can read three!!
Thank you to Harlequin Audio for the gifted audio version of this book. It was such a great listen. Narrator Hillary Huber does an exceptional job bringing the characters, emotion and the tension and urgency of the story to life.

This is the third installment in the Angelhart Investigations series, and the entire crew makes an appearance in this book. Margo’s father, Cooper, confessed to murder and she’s never believed he was guilty, and her parents have never shared why he pled guilty. When a nurse from Cooper’s past claims to have potential evidence, she is murdered before Margo can meet with her. Now all the secrets from what happened years ago when her dad pled guilty to murder begin to surface and finding the real murderer may put the entire family at risk.
Brennan has a way with writing tension, suspense and twists that keep you engaged and turning the page. I enjoyed the addition of multiple personal storylines of the Angelhart relationships and the conclusion for the underlying “what happened with Cooper” thread woven throughout all the books.

Thank you Harper Collins for a free ARC of this novel - I was so excited when I received this!
Allison Brennan does not disappoint. The Angelhart Investigations series is one of my favorites. I love the extended family dynamics and the fact the tension feels realistic. This is the third installment in the series, but I feel like these books can be read as stand alones, though the first two books do really build up to this story about Cooper.
Margo has always believed in her father's innocence and was exiled from her family for refusing to accept his guilty plea. There were a lot of characters to keep track of but I felt like there were enough call backs to keep them straight. The story had a really great pace and I never felt like things slowed down, something was always happening. I don't want to spoil anything with specifics but I found the crime and the why so interesting, I don't think I've read a book so far with a similar topic.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
I adore the Angelhart family, and am thrilled to read the ARC to the 3rd book in the series. The family’s business Angelhart Investigations is also a business of family dynamics with a variety of personalities. In I’ll Be Watching You it is imperative that it's all hands on deck when Margo, who never believed her father killed a man, finds facts to prove his innocence. And oh what a convoluted plot it is and as each member takes part in the investigation you learn more about their abilities and place in the business as piece by piece they dig into the evil plot. The reader will find twists and turns, suspense, and a well done procedural from beginning to end. While some may find the chapters being from multiple viewpoints, it really works for the team and their incomparable abilities to work together and pull their weight to solve the case and protect each other and it will surely provide possibilities for some great investigations in the future.
