When I read this in 1995, I didn’t even have Internet, so I couldn’t review it. So, now I can in 2015, after the fact. Since the author and I became e-mail friends and she became a mentor, all because I became a huge fan through her writing, this book and fine example, I remember her stories well.

Death Watch is an unusual story about a serial killer and virtual reality. Of course, mayhem ensues. I won’t go over any more plot details than that.

This is a very well done and intricately plotted novel with a cast of sympathetic characters. The writing is outstanding and the author presented a fine third-person prose with solid narrative and no rambling exposition.

If her earlier work hadn’t already cemented me as a fan, this one would’ve done the trick.

Highly recommended.

Interesting mystery - I don't know much about virtual reality, but it plays a significant role in this book. I just hope the book's premise doesn't come true! At first I wondered how all the characters tied together, but Forrest did a good job making everything work.

I enjoy reading her books. I think what made this one exceptional was the fact that it could happen and a lot of it does happen every day to a lot of women.

I have no idea where this book came from.
