WATCHING YOU-like all of the Jewell books I’ve read so far-is a story with an intricate plot and a wide-ranging cast of characters. There’s something special about a book that can manage to be intricate and binge-worthy all at once, and it’s this intoxicating combination that makes Lisa Jewell’s psychological thrillers such a hit for me. 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.
In Lisa Jewell’s latest “bone-chilling suspense” (People ), no one is who they seem-and everyone has something to hide. But you never dreamed that your innocent crush might become a deadly obsession. He’s the head teacher at the local school. But for now, you’re crashing in your big brother’s spare room. You’re back home after four years working abroad, new husband in tow. (And even then, you might want to grab your friends and have your own book club to discuss it.) WATCHING YOU swept me up in its deliciously dark suspense tale, and proved the perfect piece of “popcorn reading” for a weekend at home. This book’s intricate plot demands the reader’s attention from page one, and its binge-worthy entertainment value guarantees that your attention will never waver, not until the story’s final shocking page has been turned. Following a robust cast of characters whose lives intersect with deadly consequence, WATCHING YOU is the rare psychological thriller that manages to be both smart and delightfully juicy at the same time. WATCHING YOU is an irresistibly sinister and dramatic story of relationships, voyeurism, and the dark secrets that lurk in a posh English neighborhood. WATCHING YOU originally released in the US in late 2018, but if you, like yours truly, missed it when it first released, consider this your friendly nudge to check this book out.
I’m a relatively recent convert to Lisa Jewell’s work, which, on the one hand, I now find utterly shocking (how on earth did I wait so long to start reading her?!), but on the other hand means that I’ve still got plenty of older titles from this incredibly talented author to catch up on. There are few things better than finding a book that you can completely lose yourself in-and that’s exactly what I found in Lisa Jewell’s utterly irresistible psychological suspense novel WATCHING YOU. The Verdict: a juicy, voyeuristic “popcorn read”
