About this listen
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Watching You by Lisa Jewell.
___________________________________
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WATCHING
‘Page one intrigued me. Page three hooked me. By page five, I was consumed. This compulsive, propulsive novel is both a seize-you-by-the-throat thriller and a genuinely moving family drama. Stellar.’ – A.J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window
'Jewell writes wonderfully engaging characters who weave plausibly tangled webs and the whodunit was largely incidental until the closing pages. She masterfully draws all her threads together throwing in some cunning twists for good measure…The countdown is on for the next Lisa Jewell novel.' - Daily Express
_______________
You’re back home after four years working abroad, new husband in tow.
You’re keen to find a place of your own. But for now you’re crashing in your big brother’s spare room.
That’s when you meet the man next door.
He’s the head teacher at the local school. Twice your age. Extraordinarily attractive. You find yourself watching him.
All the time.
But you never dreamed that your innocent crush might become a deadly obsession.
Or that someone is watching you.
_______________
Family secrets, illicit passion and an unexplained murder? It can only be the gripping new novel from Lisa Jewell, #1 bestselling author of Then She Was Gone.
_______________
'I was totally gripped by this excellent psychological thriller. Set in Bristol, it opens with a dead body, then moves into the head of Joey, a newly-married 27-year-old who gets a sudden crush on one of her new neighbours, which quickly becomes obsessive. Hugely enjoyable.' – Marian Keyes, author of The Break
'If you only pick one summer read this year, make it Watching You. I inhaled it in one sitting. A gripping plot, characters you love but can't trust, and a thumping emotional heart, Lisa Jewell has done it again.' – Sarah Pinborough, author of Behind Her Eyes and 13 Minutes
'If you loved The Woman in The Window and The Girl on the Train then this is for you!' – the Hotlist, U Magazine
'Then She Was Gone was my favourite thriller last year and this is even better. Brilliantly plotted and impossible to put down, it kept me guessing until the very end.' - Alice Feeney, author of Sometimes I Lie
'She's done it again! Lisa Jewell has penned the page-turner of the summer. Emotionally-engrossing and utterly compelling, with a mystery that keeps you gripped until the last heart-wrenching page.' - Tammy Cohen, author of They All Fall Down
INDIA KNIGHT LOVES WATCHING YOU - ‘A finely drawn domestic thriller.’

I have read a few Lisa Jewel books and really enjoy her writing. This was a bit of a strange one for me, although the plot was straight forward enough, it just seemed to slowly drift along and I couldn’t really see where it was going. It’s certainly not a tense story fully of suspense. I am a huge fan of Joy Ellis and her books can be very much like that. That said, I preferred this to Then She was Gone. The genius with Watching You is all in the ending, which is very cleverly done and very moving. I’m normally pretty good at guessing who’s done it– Rev Green in the Study with the Candle stick – but, as everyone’s watching everyone else in this story, I didn’t really manage it until the latter stages.
All the characters are flawed in different ways and it’s almost like a road to redemption. We crash into people on a daily basis and mostly don’t know the depths of their challenges and what they may do to cover and soothe their hurt. But, there are those, who are just destined to be bad. The next time a teacher offers you extra help with your Spanish…just keep walking!

I appreciated the narrator's skills however I would chose a different person for this particular book. There are many young characters and teenagers in this book for whom it sounds a bit odd to speak like an older lady.
Exciting crime story
