Atria Books and NetGalley provided me with an electronic copy of Watching You. I was under no obligation to review this book and my opinion is freely given.
One of the most desirable neighborhoods in Bristol, England harbors many secrets, but when the unspeakable happens, will the truth set the inhabitants free?
The biggest issue that I had with Watching You was the spider web of side plots, all competing for the attention of the reader. The end result was a very slow start, with the author trying to convey all of the characters and their personal problems and foibles. I never quite got what made Tom Fitzwilliam so desirable to so many, nor did I really care. The characters were kept at an arm's length, as even the ones deserving the most sympathy were not very likable. Although the book did move along at a fast pace, there was just too much going on at the same time. For these reasons, I would be hesitant to recommend Watching You to other readers.
