This is my favorite Lisa Jewell book. A lot of characters and a twisty plot make for a great read. This book starts off strong & kept me reading. Someone has been murdered in the beginning but you don't know who or why. The interesting characters will keep you guessing. The story is told through various POV's and police transcripts. I figured out the ending before the ending but it didn't disappoint because their was one very last twist that I didn't see coming. So when a new family moves into a neighborhood, all eyes are upon them. Literally. What is it liked to be watched without knowing it? There are more than one "watcher". This book looks at how our obsessions, attractions, perceptions, personal background all influence how we see the world around us. This is a well written, character driven thriller.
Another great book from Lisa Jewell. I little predictable, however it was still a great read and i would recommend.
This was one of my favourite psych thrillers by Jewell. All the characters wove seamlessly together and I did not pick the ending. A little bit slow to start so 9/10
This book was predictable and I was not very fond of the point of view change every 2-10 pages. I found it it difficult to follow at times and keep characters’ thoughts and emotions straight. However, it was a quick read.
