The Enemy We Know (A Letty Whittaker 12 Step Mystery #1)

After reading this book, I found like I'd made a new friend in Letty Whittaker. I happily spent a few hours in her world and can't wait to catch up with her in the next book. Donna White Glaser's author voice is perfect for telling this tale, equally smart and self-deprecating depending on the situation. Great combination of suspense and humor and a really well-drawn protagonist. The dashes of humor were spot-on, too!

Was barely able to finish because my eyes kept getting stuck from rolling them so hard. The author should be ashamed of herself for portraying such pathetic female protagonists and antagonists. "Letty", especially, made me alternately want to scream or bury my face in my hands. If I'd been reading an actual book and not an e-reader I'd have thrown it down multiple times in frustration. Honestly, what an embarrassingly sorry excuse not only for the female sex but for professional women everywhere. If I had to read one more time about her nauseating obsession with every male ass that waltzed past her, or her dumb hyperventilating-damsel-in-distress routine I was going to lose my shit.

Letty Whittaker is a therapist and a recovering alcoholic. She's also being stalked by the abusive boyfriend of one of her patients after he threatened her at knife-point. Or at least she thinks it is him. But is it?

This is an excellent psychological thriller with likable and relatable characters. A real page turner! I loved it.

It was a very well-written story, but I figured out the murder/stalker early (first couple of chapters) which resulted in my skimming the story. My early conclusion as well as my dislike of the subject (alcoholism) kept me from becoming involved with the characters.

"So for those that are being outted. Maybe, just maybe, they’ll re-think their slash-rape-burn approach and stick to reviewing books based on the merits."

Probably not. I haven't let anyone bully me since I was 8, and I'm not going to start now.
