    About this audiobook

    “A twisty whodunit” (Cosmopolitan) about a shocking murder in a picturesque and well-to-do English town from the #1 New York Times and Sunday Times (London) bestselling author of the None of This Is True.

    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.

    In Lisa Jewell’s latest “spine-tingling thriller” (Real Simple), no one is who they seem—and everyone has something to hide. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn and Ruth Ware, Watching You will keep you guessing as “Jewell teases out her twisty plot at just the right pace” (Booklist, starred review) until the startling revelations on the very last page.

      Slow going and the storyline seems to stall and become weighed down with the various character. It’s a so-so read.

      Slow start getting all the characters down, but became one I looked forward to hearing. Quite humorous to hear an older woman speak in teenage Snapchat lingo. Most of all impressed with the main twist!

      I absolutely LOVED this book!! I very rarely give thrillers 5 stars and I was thinking I was tired of thrillers, because lately so many of them felt predictable, but this was just WOW!! Incredibly well developed characters, super tight plot, excellent pacing and an unforgettable ending!! I recommend this book!

      I found it difficult to get interested in. I listened for 5 chapters and gave it up.

      This book left me engaged, and I didn’t want to stop listening. I also liked the British feel, with words that are not used in American English. Plenty of clues that left me wondering about the killer, until the last few chapters. Then the epilogue was a satisfying closure.

      Fantastic. From the first I was intrigued by this twist on a whodunnit of not knowing whom was killed as well as who the killer was. This book though is much much more, with a tight plot and amazing character portraiture I was interested all through, not just waiting to see how it would end.

      I devoured this novel! It reminds me of Big Little Lies in that it starts with a crime, then goes back to fill in they gaps leading up to it. I felt like I had it all figured out pretty early on, but was way off.

      Interesting book.
      Enjoyed how several POVs were included to throw the reader off. Although the final twist became obvious it was worth listening to

      Another excellent story by Lisa Jewell. She develops her characters well and delves into their psyche. The ending is quite chilling.

      Such a plot twist! It started off funky but hooked you a few chapters in.

      Great writing! Although I had things mostly figured out, I looked forward to getting to it each day and it kept me invested. Feels like a good soap opera! Not in a Cheesy way though. It gives complete closure and has a nice little twist left at the end.

      This story is told through the eyes of three different characters. This makes it a bit harder to follow and keep your interest, but overall the story keeps you intrigued. The ending is good, but I felt no satisfaction over the murder mystery.

      I had a hard time getting into it to start. Had to re-listen to the first section a couple times as my mind would wander. I enjoyed it a lot once I finally could get into the story. Not nearly as captivating as other books by this author, but still overall worth the listen.

      This book started off slow but it took time to build the characters and make us connect with parts of the characters. It actually felt like being part of the story. I could see the neighborhood and the characters , could feel the emotions. It was an excellently story where there was so many twists and turns and nothing is quite as it seems. Lots of Red Herrings! I will definitely read more from this author

      An interesting read but I felt myself hating most of the characters and their actions. It seemed to glorify stalking and cheating and I didn’t love that. I think the changing between the different perspectives confused me at times and I didn’t find the ending all that satisfying. Overall a good read though

      Riveting and doesn't turn out at all like I was thinking.

      This is now the 3rd "thriller" novel from Lisa that I have read or listened to. I really enjoyed this. The character building and different points of view were entertaining. I love how it was written and everything came together at the end. Another novel that would make a great movie.

      I mainly read this but listened to the audio book a bit as well.

      There was one point where I thought “A HA I knew it” but was thrown for a loop again. It was really good. I listened in a weekend cause I just had to know!
