A domestic thriller full of unreliable and unlikeable characters, Lisa Jewell's newest novel Watching You is a gripping and thrilling tale that I couldn't put down. Even in the Insta-worthy Melville Heights neighborhood in the harbour city of Bristol, ugliness is lurking.

Joey's a newlywed who has moved into her husband's brother's home in Melville Heights. It's a bit of an awkward situation living in such a luxurious neighborhood as a "charity case," and it just gets more complicated when Joey becomes dangerously obsessed with her married neighbor Tom.

Jenna is a student at the same school where Tom is an administrator. In the midst of dealing with normal teenage drama, Jenna is dealing with a mother with clinical paranoia and, at the same time, investigating a suspicious local celebrity.

I found myself drawn in by this novel and wasn't satisfied until I reached the conclusion. Highly recommend!
