A well thought out tale full of intrigue and suspense. She kept me guessing as to how the characters lives intertwined and who was guilty and innocent. I am a long time fan of Jewells and continue to be so having read this. The only thing I will say is that the ending was a bit confusing but maybe I missed something...apart from that, a thoroughly good read.

Ooooh, this is soooo good! From first to last, I've been riveted . . . Joey Mullen returns home after working in sunnier climes for several years, bringing her brand new husband. With no home of their own yet, Joey's brother Jack insists they come to stay with him and his wife in their beautiful home in an upmarket suburb of Bristol. As Joey becomes drawn to a neighbour and begins to keep an eye on him, it transpires that she's not the only one doing some secret spotting. Who else is Watching You? This is a packed read! Beginning with the discovery of a body, we then go back in time to discover what led up to this death. There are several stories intertwined and cleverly woven together and not a minute wasted! I did work out the guilty party - only just ahead of the identity being revealed in the book - but I didn't fully get to grips with the whys and wherefores. There are lots of possibilities in this beautifully written novel; several suspects and I didn't really slot it all into place until the very final page which left me with a definite chill creeping up my spine! An excellent, first class read and one I cannot recommend highly enough. I'm thrilled and delighted to have another by this author in my tbr list, and I'm now desperate to get to it! A solid five golden stars and a highly recommended from me!

When I got this book, I had no idea what to expect! Such intriguing characters, fast paced plot. Lisa Jewell did it again! The ending? Epic and I'm yearning to know more. :)
