Watching You by Lisa JewellMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Omg,Lisa Jewell has totally blown me away again.Watching You is a mesmerizing,twist packed,gripping tale of secrets,obsessions,stalking,misconceptions,friendships and deception that hooks the reader in from the very first page right through to the jaw dropping final twist
The reader has to get to quite a large number of diverse characters as this enthralling thriller unfolds.But the story is largely voiced by Joey who is newly married to Alfie, they are both staying in one of the stunning houses on Melville Heights with Joey`s brother Jack and his heavily pregnant wife Rebecca.Then there's Freddie Fitzwilliam who lives two doors away with his parents Tom and Nicola.And finally there is fourteen year old Jenna Tripp who lives down in lower Melville with her mum Francis.We know from the beginning of the story that a violent crime as been committed and scattered throughout the book are police interviews with some of the characters.The behaviour and actions of a couple of the characters at times gave me the creeps because they came across as sinister and inappropriate but as happens in real life,not everything is what it appears to be.Sometimes a person's actions can be misinterpreted and misconstrued,making that person appear creepy and unlikable.By the end of the story I had completely changed my mind about a couple of characters,my thoughts and misconceptions turning out to be totally wrong.
No pages of this intricately plotted story comes across as unnecessary padding,The author's words flow from the page with ease drawing the reader into the world and lives of her vivid realistic characters.Worth far more than five stars and highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a seriously well written thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat and definitely messes with your head,leaving you feeling very dizzy but not wanting the story to end.
AUTHOR BIO
Lisa Jewell had always planned to write her first book when she was fifty. In fact she wrote it when she was twenty-seven and had just been made redundant from her job as a secretary. Inspired by Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity, a book about young people just like her who lived in London, she wrote the first three chapters of what was to become her first novel, Ralph’s Party. It went on to become the bestselling debut novel of 1998.
Fifteen bestselling novels later, she lives in London with her husband and their two daughters. Lisa writes every day in a local café where she can drink coffee, people-watch and, without access to the internet, actually get some work done . . .
