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.’

brilliant
Jewell's metamorphosis into crime writer is utter perfection. A little reminiscent of A Casual Vacancy.

Another great story
Even though I kind of guessed what was going on I still enjoyed the book. I do enjoy a good thriller, whodunit and Lisa Jewell fulfills.

Average at best
I was disappointed. Couldn’t get into the story or really cared about the characters. Could have easily not finished it but I did. The end was annoying

Couldn’t put it down
It started slowly but suddenly I found myself totally drawn in and desperate to hear how all of the stories and characters connected.
Masterfully written. Beautifully narrated. It kept me guessing til almost the last
Moment!! This book was well worth the credit. I will search out more by Lisa Jewell.

Good story, bad format.
The story line was interesting, but the format was thoroughly boring. The use of the initials before every statement in the police interviews is very annoying.
The whole story felt disjointed in it’s delivery despite it’s interesting content.

Storyline with twists
I love the way Lisa Jewell writes. I’ve never not enjoyed one of her books. Narration is perfect also.

Loved it! Wanted more!
Finished it in a much shorter time frame than I had hoped because I was so enthralled. I didn’t pick the ending until all the clues were dropped towards the end. I found most of the characters unlikeable and found it difficult to empathise with the adults. Joey was a completely self-serving and manipulative narcissist who habitually victimises herself. Using and discarding those in her life. I felt for her partner most. We didn’t get Tom’s perspective so it’s difficult to make a judgement on him when all the narrators were unreliable and troubled. I think my general dislike for all of these characters made me enjoy the book more though. However, I did empathise with the teenagers in the story and found them to be the most interesting.
Would love a sequel and as with each Lisa Jewell book I read, I wonder how none of them have been made into movies. I was casting the characters in this book in my mind as I listened.
I would recommend this book, it’s easy and enjoyable with some confronting content. Trigger warning: There’s discussion of suicide, mental health, alleged grooming and alleged domestic abuse male to female and female to male.
