A gripping serial killer thriller.

An entire family is murdered and, by a quirk, a young girl is left unharmed. For 15 years, she believed the killer had been caught, and he's now on death row, awaiting execution. While trying to be content with her adoptive family, she's living in relentless uncertainty and the fear of remembering what really happened that night when she was five years old. She's The Watson Girl.

A therapist has asked her to participate in regression session treatments to attempt to bring back those lost memories. The closer she gets to the truth, however, the less time she has to remain alive. Now, the real killer is going to silence her, before she can remember the details of that horrifying night, when she was an innocent witness.

Laura Watson is young, she's beautiful, and she's a serial killer's loose end.

Join the smart, relentless, and short-fused FBI Special Agent Tess Winnett and her team in a heart-stopping search for the serial killer who has managed to stay hidden for many years. Explore the inner workings of the murderer's mind, and find out what motivates such predatory, blood-lusting behavior, while following every twist and turn of an existence spent taking lives.

"The Watson Girl" is my favorite kind of thriller - a tight, intricate story, featuring strong female leads, tons of twists and turns and a very satisfying ending. Leslie Wolfe expertly weaves a tale about a murdered family, the lose end that survived and the killer that's behind it all. Typically I can guess where a book like this is going, but Wolfe left me wondering (and wrong!) on more than one occasion. Andrew Tell delivers a fabulous performance keeping me enthralled and bringing the characters to life. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a murder mystery story - this is quite a good one! 10/10

The Watson Girl
: Leslie Wolfe

A deep dark psychological thriller/ murder mystery with well developed characters. This is the second book in this series but the first I have listened to. I will have to go back and get "Dawn Girl" to see where the story began. I enjoyed this book with a strong female protagonist.




The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed by Andrew Tell.

I’m certainly not a critic but I have become an avid listener to audiobooks over the last little while. I just would have liked to of had the ending be a little more built up to that climax. I would certainly read another book from this author.

right up to the ending....

Although I had a feeling what was going to happen and who the killer was, I still thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this book. I love Tess's "gut instincts".

Another great read

"An exhilarating ride with plenty to satisfy even the most demanding Crime Reader - Very Haunting , Tess Winnett is amazing.. I found myself rushing through the last few chapters as the pace increased and every moment was full of tension. Brilliant stuff." 

the narrative of Andrew Tell is an added bonus bringing the acts of the crime and criminals into question with bone chilling intensity.. Bravo.!!

Leslie Wolfe is a new author to me, while I have listened to Andrew Tell previously. I think both are extremely talented. I loved all of the unexpected twists this book had. I found the story to be original, and felt that the audiobook would be better than the print version due to the performance. I will definitely look for more books by both Leslie Wolfe and Andrew Tell. I was voluntarily provided with this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, narrator, and or publisher. My review is not a synopsis of the book, but rather my opinion of it.

Gripping Story!

When Tessa, a damaged but dedicated and brilliant FBI agent with trust problems, is recalled slightly early from her enforced leave, her first assignment is to visit a serial killer, nicknamed the Family Killer. After years in prison, he is about to die from lethal injection having been convicted for the deaths of 34 families, men, women and children. She is somewhat surprised when he tells her that he was responsible for only 32. There was one which had been omitted from his list and three he had not committed.
Concerned that, if he had been truthful about this, there might still be an unrecognised killer on the loose, Tessa struggles to get the cases reopened.

This audiobook is a wonderful symbiosis of author and narrator. Whilst the story itself is good, it is lifted into excellence by Andrew Tell's performance. The book moves between a third person account of the investigation which evolves and a first person monologue by the killer, talking about his past 'achievements', his mind set and future plans. Tell's reading of this latter is eerily calm and creepy, whilst the other ongoing action is well paced and given the appropriate emotion as each character is given a clear and differentiated voice. The whole is an un-put-downable story of suspense as well as an intriguing glimpse into the minds of two totally different psychopaths as well as that of a completely obsessive cop.

My thanks to the rights holder of The Watson Girl, who gifted me my copy freely, without any expectation of return, via Audiobook Boom. It was very enjoyable, if a little harrowing in parts, not so much from what was written but from the images it conjured up. Anyone who has enjoyed the books by Thomas Harris (Silence of the Lambs) is sure to also like this book. Recommended.

Awesome! I can't say enough good things about this book...I loved it...it was captivating. At 5 years old Laura Watson, hiding in a clothes hamper, witnesses her family being brutally murdered. She is sent to live with her father's partner and remembers nothing about the murders. Skip ahead 15 years and Laura is asked to participate in something called regression therapy which will hopefully help her remember the killings. Although the cops believe they have the correct person in jail for the killings it become clear that they do not. We are let into the killers head as he talks to you about what he plans to do & how he plans his killings out. This was a spectacularly creepy book & I would highly recommend it as a read.
