About this listen

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...

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!

First class thriller

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.

Absolutely gripping

Would you listen to Watching You again? Why?

This was one of those books that you really don't want to turn off! It started off as a rather mundane story about a woman and her children trying to survive after her husband went missing. After that the best way to enjoy this story is to carry on listening............

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The end chapters are really dramatic and lead to a conclusion that is unexpected.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

I don't think that this film would transpose into a film

Any additional comments?

A really enjoyable thriller. I will listen to the book again despite knowing the outcome. Well written. Thank you
