If I had to sum up this book in one word it would be fabulous. When I started reading I must admit I wasn't really settling into the story but within a few chapters I was hooked.

 

From the title you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a stalker watching but in fact it's everyone....the headteacher watching his students, the girl next door watching her crush, the teenage boy watching girls....and all those watchers (and more) hold the key to who has committed a violent crime and why.

 

This is just a thrilling read. You think you know what's happening then Lisa Jewell throws in a twist laden grenade. And the ending....I really did not see that coming. So much so that when I was sneakily finishing it at my desk my actual gasp out loud rather have me away. P45 not withstanding this was a seriously fabulous reading experience.

A darkly addictive creepy tale that keeps you guessing till the end.  Packed with suspense by the bucketload.

This is a classic Lisa Jewell novel - full of intrigue, and with numerous interesting characters who have utterly plausible problems.  The plot twist surprised me but was also perfectly satisfying.

I have loved all of Lisa's books - Although this one was readable in the sense that I finished it and it was not a chore but it wasn't as thrilling as her usual more recent type of books.

The book begins as all good books should, with a murder. Someone is lying dead on the kitchen floor, the story then jumps back a few months and tells the lead-up to the murder, I would defo not want to live in Melville!

The neighbours are all pretty unlikeable and you feel like someone is watching your every move- because they are!...its a pretty creepy book with teenagers photographing everyone and neighbours obsessed and spying on neighbours, along with a token killing thrown in the mix.

Great read again from Lisa Jewell I really enjoyed it.

3.5 stars. 
This book did take me a short while to get into purely because there are so many characters, but once I got to know who was who I found it to be a good read. 
Looking forward to Lisa Jewell’s next novel, as always.

This easy whodunnit throws up a number of suspects and has a twist at the end.  A pleasant read, not taxing and the characters well presented.  Would recommend.

A small upmarket part of Bristol is the very last place you’d expect to find a murder.  All the characters and there are quite a few, are all watching a certain Tom Fitzwilliam!  What to say about this book?  Well I liked some of it, but it was a bit slow, but livened up considerably towards the end.  Be prepared for twists!   There was an element of creepiness in the behaviour of some of the residents, none of whom came across as normal, run of the mill people, especially Joey (Josephine).  I’m a fan of Lisa Jewell but liked her other books more than this one.

Newly-married Joey returns to her home town with her husband Alfie after meeting while both working abroad and move into her brother's spectacular home in an affluent neighbourhood that he shares with his pregnant wife.
Despite her marriage being in the first flush Joey quickly finds herself drawn to her brother's neighbour - the handsome and charming Tom Fitzwilliam who is headmaster of the local school.
It is a creepy and thrilling read which opens with a brutal murder then gradually works up to the events surrounding it.
A very good read from a favourite author of min. No hesitation in recommending this to all!
Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

You cannot pick up a book by Lisa Jewell and expect to put it down and with this one I couldn’t.
Absolutely gripping loved it.
Can’t wait for more.

An interesting and twisty tale of the comings and goings of a group of people in one street/ town.  Lots of creepy people and it's a wonder they all found each other!  Basically it centres on someone from this group being murdered and chops and changes between the present and then to figure out who did it.

Thank you to the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Great gripping read of lives being destroyed by obsession and secrets.

A family move in to a new village where everyone is either watching or being watched, but the real question is who is hiding what and who has hidden motives. 

A good holiday read that keeps you turning the pages to find out if there even is a mystery to be discovered

Really enjoyable read, with the story leading you in all different directions. I felt that the ending didn’t quite tie it all up for me.

So many twists and turns, keeps you guessing about what is going to happen and who is the bad guy.  I got closer and closer to the end and just had to keep on reading, through the night until I got to the very end.

Great book, great characters, great twists and turns, keeping you in suspense, well worth a read and a recommended 5 stars from me, now I want to read another book from her list.

Lisa Jewell has done it again. I absolutely adored Then She Was Gone, and Watching You was equally as good. Jewell seems to have a way of keeping secrets until the very last moment and unleashing them in a way that is both shocking and totally enjoyable for a reader. Another incredible read. My favourite book of the year thus far.

This is not the first book by Lisa Jewell that I have read.  I’ve read quite few of her work and have always enjoyed them, so I didn’t hesitate to request this title when I saw that it was on offer but I just didn’t enjoy it.   The plot was fine but I knew from fairly early on what was going to happen and a lot of it seemed rather forced to me. 
The characters were all very shallow and unlikeable, which is fine. I certainly don’t always like the people that I am reading about but this bunch were horrid and as a result I found myself switching off and not really caring about how the book was going to end. 
There was of course a twist but it wasn’t really shocking and there were so many characters to keep track of.  I found myself having to re-read parts of the book as I had found it confusing and took me a long time to get into it.

Having read Ms. Jewell's previous book, I thought this book would be better than the previous. With much enthusiasm, I got down to reading the book, till I got into the maze of characters and got totally confused  by them and their relationships to each other. It took numerous tries to get into the book.
The characters were all a bit dark and creepy and to me, everyone gave off stalkerish vibes, especially Freddie who watched people via the telescope and clicked their pics. 
The ending had its twist, but getting to the ending gave me an icky feeling with this gang of characters so I had to hop, skip, and jump through the pages. 
This book was definitely not for me with too many characters, slow pace, and creepy ambience!!

Wowsers. What a read. 
I love this author, Lisa never fails to deliver. Exceptional read that once you start reading you won’t be able to put it down.

Lisa Jewell is one of my favourite authors and this was another brilliant book by her.  Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Another fantastic book from Lisa Jewell whose books just keep getting better and better. This had me hooked from pretty much the first page and I practically devoured the pages. Loved all the different characters and how their stories intertwined. A fantastic thriller which keeps you guessing until the final chapters.

Joey is newly married to Alfie and they have moved in with her brother and his wife (Jack and Rebecca). Two doors away live Tom and Nicola with their teenage son, Freddie. Tom is headteacher at a local school which best friends Jenna and Bess attend. Jenna lives with her Mum who is convinced she knows Tom from an earlier episode in her life. I am not going to go into any further detail as I am worried anything I say reveals too much. It really is a fantastic book and one that you will not want to put down. 

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced read copy of the book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
