Holly B 's Reviews > Watching You

4.5 STARS

I always feel like somebody's watching me...

A picturesque street in a nice neighborhood in England. Painted pastel houses with cozy surroundings. Behind closed doors, someone is watching...

Tom Fitzwilliam, the headmaster at a local school is a husband, a father, and a rather flirty guy who knows he has a way with the women.

Joey Mullen and her husband Alfie, have just moved in with her brother so they can get their lives sorted.  Joey is going through a bit of a crisis in her marriage, when she meets Tom and is  suddenly and unexpectedly obsessed with him.   Timing is everything, if it hadn't been him, maybe it would have been someone else?

When someone is found murdered, everyone has an opinion about who is responsible and past secrets are starting to come to light.

One of my favorite parts of the story is the recorded police interviews that are dispersed throughout the book, giving clues to who is suspected and where the investigation is focusing.  I kept trying to figure out Tom and figure out if he was misunderstood or just another cagey predator.

I was able to figure out the first twist, but that was due to the clever hints that Jewell laid out in the previous chapters. This was an intriguing character driven mystery that had me diagnosing all the characters at every turn.

The last twist comes in the last paragraph and was quite a stunner!

Thanks to NG for my copy to read/review. Review will post to my blog on Monday 11/19/18
