Summary
Marnie Logan often feels like she's being watched. Nothing she can quite put her finger on - a whisper of breath on the back of her neck, or a shadow in the corner of her eye - and now her life is frozen. Her husband Daniel has been missing for more than a year.
Depressed and increasingly desperate, she seeks the help of clinical psychologist Joe O'Loughlin. Joe is concerned by Marnie's reluctance to talk about the past, but then she discovers a book packed with pictures, interviews with friends, former teachers, old flames and workmates Daniel was preparing for her birthday. It was supposed to be a celebration of her life. But it's not the story anyone was expecting...

First class thriller
This is one of those books that I couldn't stop listening to as the narrative powers one with twists and turns, red herrings and surprises. There aren't too many characters so the main ones are vivid and memorable. I didn't guess the final truth that is only revealed as the book races to the final denouement.
The narrator is excellent and the writing is crisp and to the point without too many superfluous details nor digressions into the author's musical tastes voiced through one of the characters: a fault of some other crime/thriller writers!

Absolutely gripping
Another gripping listen from Michael Robotham that had me listening compulsively over a couple of days. The plot moves along at a good pace with some fantastic twists and turns. Sean Barrett's narration is as mesmerising as ever, his dark menacing tone suits this novel perfectly.

Joe is back in top form
Another brilliant Joe O'Loughlin novel with perfect narration from Sean Barrett. I wish it had gone on longer and I should have rationed it out in smaller sections. Anyway it gave me 3 great days of listening pleasure. This is a superb series of books.

Another gripping story

I would recommend this, but with the proviso that they won't get anything done until the end.
What did you like best about this story?
Extremely deep and believable.
What does Sean Barrett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
He is one of the best narrators I have found, his voice draws you right into the story.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Superb. I think whole of Michael Robotham books would be worthy of film recognition
Any additional comments?
Thank you Michael Robotham for another brilliant novel.... Now I am waiting for the next.

EVERYTHING YOU COULD WANT IN A THRILLER
I have to admit, I am a huge fan of Michael Robotham and Sean Barrett, so anything written by Robotham and read by Barrett is an audio book of the highest quality.
The writing is as good as any you will find in the genre, fast-moving, daring, erudite, with well fleshed characters and a plot that is all too believable; all this is punctuated by fascinating psychological facts. If you are a lover good storytelling this one is for you. But be warned, the story is so compelling you may find it hard to find the off switch! This is a great audio book.

Please stop the awful child's voices!
I am only just over halfway through this and enjoying it mostly but feel compelled to leave this review as a warning to other listeners. Sean Barrett (the narrator) does a really bad line in kid's (and to a lesser extent women's) voices.
There is a lot of kid's dialogue in this one!!!!
Aaarrgghh!!

Terrifying but compulsive listening
If you could sum up Watching You in three words, what would they be?
Chilling; puzzling; enthralling
What was one of the most memorable moments of Watching You?
The part where Marnie discovers Elijah's secret in the cupboard; the scene with Joe and Malcolm in the bathroom towards the end of the book.
What does Sean Barrett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
No one does a creepy pervert voice like Sean Barrett! He plays the sociopath admirably
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me afraid, and got me twisted in knots trying to work out the ending. Completely hooked on listening, but probably wouldn't listen to alone.
Any additional comments?
Michael Robotham is an awesome writer, though there is a strand of sameness that runs through his some of his books. I worry that he's really a sadistic outsider who used to be in the British Army...

and a sting in the tail
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Without doubt. The thing is, it was not predictable. At every chapter there was a twist, but it was not a twist for the sake of a twist, nor was it unlikely. I found all the plot to be plausible.
What did you like best about this story?
The book created an atmosphere of being watched...as intended. Even when not listening to the book, there was a legacy of suspicion, paranoia in the back of my mind. How sad is it that I deliberately created driving chores and went to bed early....in order to find out what was happening next....!!
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The last two minutes.... Great characters, great character interplay and yip. the sting in the tail....
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
....you might NOT be that paranoid....
Any additional comments?
I must comment on the talents of the narrator, Sean Barrett.
Absolutely fabulous performance. Super super super.

Top Notch Psychological Thriller
Michael Robotham has come up trumps once again with this superb psychological thriller.
Psychologist Joe O'lochlin and retired detective Vincent Ruiz become embroiled in the case, when one of O'lochlin's patients, who's husband has been missing for more than a year, becomes the main suspect in a murder case.
Michael Robotham has here crafted a multi layered tale, that deals with the psychological impact of childhood trauma and in particular, the way it affects the victims as adults.
Written with great precision, the author steadily builds the tension and managed to surprise me on several occasions.
Perhaps it is best to read the Joe O'lochlin books in order, but it is still a great stand alone novel. As usual Sean Barrett is superb. Very highly recommended.
