Another riveting, page turner of a novel from Ms. Jewell! Before my review, I would like to point out my favorite book from this author, that is not in the same style as her most recent work. If you enjoy her writing, and are open to a more character driven plot, please pick up The House We Grew Up In! As much as I enjoy her latest books, this one is still my favorite. Now on to this review. The title of this one is spot on! Throughout the story, there are multiple people all watching others. The "crazy" mom who thinks she is being stalked, the young teenage boy spying on girls of interest in the neighborhood, and even the newly married woman who can't seem to stop watching the new school admin. We know right from the beginning that someone is murdered, and then the story goes back and gives us the details of how we got there. I loved the snippets of police interviews thrown in as the reader is trying to make up their mind 'who dunnit'. The writing is crisp, the chapters are short and broken up into various characters telling their story, and there was a twist at the end (of course). I have to say that the end was the only thing that didn't work for me. It was a bit too convenient that things fell into place the way they did, but I honestly didn't mind because the rest of the book was engrossing enough to overlook such a small fault.

Another winner from Lisa Jewell, this one will keep you guessing until the very end. Definitely an author who can write engrossing material no matter what genre she is in.
