Publisher Description
In Spindler's thrilling new psychological drama, one woman's journey to recovery becomes her worst nightmare… Before Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, stained-glass restoration artist Mira Gallier had it all: a thriving business doing work she loved and an idyllic marriage to the perfect man. But the devastating storm stole her beloved husband – his body swept away by floodwaters, never to be found. Now, after years of pain and turmoil, it looks as if Mira is finally on the verge of peace and emotional stability. But her life, like the magnificent windows blown to bits by Hurricane Katrina, is about to be shattered once again. And this time, it's not a killer storm she faces, but a psychopath who will stop at nothing until he possesses her, body and soul… First, church windows that she restored are vandalized, and the priest who looked over them brutally murdered. Spray-painted across the glass are the words: He Will Come to Judge the Living and the Dead. Then, New Orleans is rocked by a terrifying chain of murders that all seem to be linked to Mira. The police, led by homicide detective Spencer Malone, are following a string of clues left by the killer on each victim – and beginning to wonder if the murderer isn't Mira Gallier herself. As Mira begins to unravel under pressure from all sides – and fear for her life – it's unclear whom she can trust. And when a man from her past appears out of nowhere, sparking something long forgotten in her heart, he quickly becomes the police's new prime suspect. One by one, the people in Mira's life are targeted, until it's clear that the killer has been saving her for last . . . and that there's nowhere left to run.

Quotes
-
“This book starts out atmospheric, with New Orleans color, and then the suspense ratchets up. This is a fine read for those wanting a fast-paced suspense with a little romance thrown in. Spindler is especially effective at conveying the shock of someone’s world turning upside down when they find that what they believed about people is not true.”
— RT Book Reviews (4 stars) -
“Filled with more twisted, dark paths than an ancient cemetery, Watch Me Die is a thriller guaranteed to chill your blood and set your teeth on edge.
— Lisa Jackson, #1 New York Times bestselling author -
At the start of this gripping romantic suspense thriller from bestseller Spindler (Blood Vines), someone bashes in the head of elderly Father Girod at New Orleans' Sisters of Mercy Catholic School and Church. The unknown killer also spray-paints the church's stained-glass windows with the words: "He will come again to judge the living and the dead." When Det. Spencer Malone questions Mira Gallier, who restored the church's stained-glass windows after Hurricane Katrina six years earlier and still mourns her husband, Jeff, who perished in that catastrophe, the police detective has to wonder why she appears more distraught by the vandalized windows than by Father Girod's death. As the body count rises, Mira becomes one of the chief suspects in the murders. Meanwhile, Jeff's best friend, Connor Scott, returns to New Orleans, and Mira, who can't stop thinking about Jeff, feels guilty about her attraction to Connor. The plot takes numerous twists and turns until reaching the startling conclusion.

— Jamie, 11/12/2013 -
" Maybe even 4 1/2. For me, it was a "tough to put down book." It was just the right mixture of religion and mystery. I had no clue who the "bad guy" was until right at the end - the way a good mystery should be. "

" Interesting thriller with a heroine who works with stained glass - which I find quite fascinating. There are a lot of characters with convoluted connections to keep track of, but the setting in New Orleans is sumptuous. "
— Nina, 7/5/2012 -
" I enjoyed the storyline, but Mira's over-the-top clueless-ness bothered me. She wouldn't have been in that deep of trouble if she'd have just opened her eyes a little. Yes, many mystery protagonists miss the little clues, but she missed the REALLY OBVIOUS ones too. "
— Ashley, 4/29/2012 -
" This book was so hard to put down. Erica Spindler's a very good writer. "
