MY THOUGHTS
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.
