John Joiner's deep emotional guilt over his part in the violent death of his fiance Sara, has escalated into a debilitating case of agoraphobia. It has been 3 years since he has been able to step from the confines of his house. Now, with an impressive array of technological equipment and his computers, John lives vicariously through his neighbors. Monitoring their lives and actions, he develops characters and plots for the books he writes as Jack Jenior.
Maria enters his life in a rustle of silk stockings, and from the first moments of frustrating aggravation his rapidly developing feelings and desire for her, begins to change John's life. She becomes fascinated by his equipment and occupation when he notifies the police, foiling a robbery at a neighbors house.
When they uncover a murder plot, John, concerned how his "spying" will be perceived, and convinced the police will never believe them, they decide to investigate on their own and warn the victims.
Andy JW Davie has a strong voice and riveting writing style. The characters in DIARY OF A CURTAIN TWITCHER become alive and real for the reader, pulling you deeper and deeper into the intrique and action. I found myself anxiously turning the pages for the next twist and turn the author weaves into the attention grabbing plot of this MUST READ thriller.
