Watching You | Lisa Jewell
Gripping psychological suspense from the number one bestselling author of Then She Was Gone, as what begins as an innocent crush develops into a dangerous infatuation. Youre back home after four years working abroad with a brand new husband in tow. Youre keen to find a place of your own. But for now youre living with your big brother, camped out in his spare bedroom. And then quite unexpectedly you meet the man next door. Hes the head teacher of the local high school. Hes twice your age. And hes devastatingly attractive. Soon you find youre watching him. All the time. But what you dont 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 Jewells gripping new novel.

Ooooh, really good! This was a big cut above your average thriller. Things are not what they seem and I was completely absorbed in figuring out the truth about this small group of neighbors. I‘ve read a few books by Lisa Jewell but this is my new favorite!

A typical suburban area in Bristol. Home to doctors and teachers. Look closer behind the doors and it is not all that it seems. A street full of secrets ready to spill out. Focusing on Tom, the headteacher and his family and their neighbours.
This was such a clever play on what people see and how things can be taken out of context. The theme of being watched makes the book unputdownable. This kept me guessing right to the end.

Cuilin Sounds great! 6mo

The story opens with a murder - the reader does not know who has been murdered or who the murderer is - I enjoyed this story - it was a fast read (since I really enjoyed it) and a lot of twists and turns - about 3/4 of the way in I figured out what was going on , or so I thought - only for another twist to appear!

#BookSpinBingo first book for July

Make a great day everyone - 🙂

WJCintron I think I have this one. I really like her. She writes great thrillers. 😃🙌 2y

This TOTALLY made up for the dud of my last book. Full of intense, creepy vibes and cleverly intertwined, yet unexpected plot movement. Revelations unfold and pieces come together, right up until the last page.

I read this for #LMPBC. I wasn‘t sure how I‘d feel about it, as I don‘t normally read thrillers, but I actually really enjoyed it and read it in only a few days. Since it‘s still early in the month, it will probably be a week or so before I mail it off to you, Jill. :)

Another kind of "meh" read for me. I enjoyed the shifting perspectives and the play on how each person is perceiving (and often misinterpreting) events.

But also, this holiday season has been pretty crappy for me and that may have clouded my experience. My sweet Nana unexpectedly passed away on Christmas morning so to say that it's been rough is an understatement. I'm glad that I was home to be with family, and grateful to books for their solace.

Here are a few options for my pick. Do you have any thoughts on these? Thrillers and a historical fiction. Lmk your thoughts.

I'm a sucker for suspense so of course I liked this but lots of questions about character development when reading. I did appreciate that I didn't know who the "bad guy" was until the end, as she definitely steers you off course throughout the story.

Really getting hooked on Lisa Jewell books. Very fitting title for Freddie, a reclusive teenager who take lot of photos of people he‘s spying on in his posh English neighborhood. His father is the beloved headmaster of a school and it seems like every other girl, woman either has a crush on him or thinks he‘s creepy. Old wounds from childhood deter and never heal

This is the kind of book in which the people you like in the beginning are the people you hate at the end, and vice versa.

Ripped through this one in about 5 days. Really enjoyed it and didn't really know who had done what or really what was truly done. I like a book that can plausibly set up multiple people and I loved that the one watching was in fact not just one.

I am not a fan of Lisa Jewell. This book has been on my shelf & needed read. I did try to like this book but I think the quotes that its 'twists' are unpredictable make me wonder if reviewers read the same book that I did. I really do not have anything positive to say about this book other than I think the cover art is pretty. This was ⭐⭐ read for me. I hate to dissuade anyone else from reading it but there are way better thrillers out there.

I'm just going to say it... I don't get why people think Lisa Jewell is such a great author. This book makes me want to rip my eyelids off. If it hadn't been on my shelf, there is no way I would have read it. Total slog. Swearing her off forever.

TrishB I thought this was awful too. 3y
FelinesAndFelonies @TrishB That makes me feel so much better! Everyone raves about her books and I just don't care for them. I got three in a bundle and one by itself. After reading three, I was unimpressed. Then I found this one lurking on my shelf. I just want to get if read so I don't have to read anymore of her books. 👎🏽 3y

FelinesAndFelonies @MsMelissa this whole conversation makes me feel so relieved. 🤣 I never find her twists unpredictable. Most of her books aren't more than 300 pages and that still feels like too many for me. I'm so grateful I'm not alone. 3y

Psychological thrillers seem to be the only thing keeping my attention right now.

At first the story was hard to get into because there are jilt i please POVs. Normally that doesn‘t bother me but the chapters were really short so switching from one POV to POV so fast took awhile to get into that characters head. Other than that I really enjoyed this book. Usually I can guess the twist and I didn‘t! So win!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm pretty good at figuring out the who's and why's when it comes to mysteries and thrillers. But with Lisa's books there's always, always that one thing that I miss and the pure shock when I read it just blows my mind.

I love when authors take me by surprise like this, I love when I'm not right about the plot twist. And Lisa gives me this satisfaction every time.

👇🏻Cont👇🏻

Enchanted_Bibliophile The other thing I love is how caught up I get in the story. I'll open the book and 3 hours later I'll realise I've read half the book and it's nearly midnight 🤭 3y
