Summary

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Watching You by Lisa Jewell. Gripping psychological suspense from the number one best-selling author of Then She Was Gone, as what begins as an innocent crush develops into a dangerous infatuation.

You’re back home after four years working abroad, with a brand-new husband in tow.

You’re keen to find a place of your own. But for now you’re living with your big brother, camped out in his spare bedroom.

And then - quite unexpectedly - you meet the man next door.

He’s the head teacher of the local high school. He’s twice your age. And he’s devastatingly attractive. Soon you find you’re watching him. All the time.

But what you don’t know is that someone is watching you.

Or that what has started as an innocent crush is quickly turning into an obsession as dark as it is deadly.

Family secrets, illicit passion and an unexplained murder lie at the heart of Lisa Jewell’s gripping new novel.

Very good

I enjoyed this book. It seemed to take a long time to get going but the second half is fabulous. Lots of suspense and a great twist. The narration was good, convincing performance. The only thing I didn’t like was the ending which I felt was untidy and unsatisfying. However it’s a great good and well worth a listen.

interesting not what I expected

enjoyed it, but found it immensely annoying that the police interviews went police .... then TF .... police..... TF.... announcing every person everytime got very monotonous. other than that I enjoyed the book.

Another really good book from Lisa Jewell

Great narration, a very good story, enough twists to have you guessing, and all chapters are relevant and novel well. A really good listen!

Great but predictable.

I enjoyed this book but it was totally predictable . I had guessed everything before I was halfway through, even the end. Nevertheless, it was still entertaining. The narration was superb.
If I was being picky, I'd say the Bristol accent was more Dorset sounding in parts but only people local to the area, like myself, would really notice that and some of the time it was spot on.
If you enjoy guessing the plot this is maybe not the book for you as it was easy to work out.
I still love Lisa Jewell and will continue reading her novels.

Good plot and narrator

Really enjoyed this book. For some reason I thought the victim was someone else until quite late on - not sure if that was just me! I did guess nearer the end as there was a big clue but I still thought it was a good plot which was well read. Would recommend. Best book by this author Ive read so far.

Brilliant Whodunnit

I loved this book and couldn't stop listening from almost the very beginning. It kept me guessing the whole way, and I kept changing my mind as to who the culprit was too.
It's well read with subtle accent changes and no silly deep voices.
The very end gave me chills. Excellent psychology twists and turns that makes you think one thing but then change your mind a bit later. I'll definitely look for more books by Lisa Jewell.

Beautifully described characters and well read.

Very impressed by the characters in this story. Especially Freddie. I’m reluctant to say much more because it would give the subtleties of the book away,

What an authentic and intelligent thriller

This book is reminiscent of Ruth Rendell at her very best. Full of thoughtful and nuanced social observation and credible as well as interesting characters. The sense of place is excellent as well as the unifying theme around watching. Even the content dealing with paranoid delusion and Aspergers’ syndrome avoided cliche. I have listened to one of Lisa’s books before and this has confirmed my high opinion of her. I’ll now listen to all the others and recommend to my friends.
