Critic reviews

A Fatal Attraction for the digital age, but with a crucial twist . . . Watson is a master at turning the screw.
A gripping read - deftly plotted, with convincing characters and an unsettling premise that builds to a truly disturbing conclusion. Second Life is ample proof that Watson is no mere one-hit wonder.
A gripping, contemporary thriller, this is the sort of thing you'll plough through in a hurried weekend of page turning.
A fierce, captivating portrait. Julia's disintegration is heartbreaking and underlines what a formidable presence Watson has as a writer: a star is confirmed.
Simultaneously believable and terrifying...An edgy, disturbing read.

I found the same with Before I Go To Sleep, the story is entertaining but takes a while to get going.

A lot of unanswered aspects and characters that you never quite warm too.

Entertaining, but not overly engaging.

Entertaining but a bit slow
