WATCHING YOU

BY LISA JEWELL

I just finished reading “Watching You” by Lisa Jewell. Here are my thoughts.

First of all, I am obsessed with Lisa Jewell right now. Every time I see one of her books in the library I immediately pick it up and read it because I know that it will be awesome…This one did not dissapoint.

I takes place on a street in a small town and includes characters who are connected but the reader doesn’t know how or why and the mystery is slowly uncovered throughout the novel. There is a headmaster and his family with s slightly needy wife and a son who is on the spectrum which makes him interesting and engaging. Across the street are a brother and sister who are both married to not very nice people as it turns out. There are also two teenage girls who may or may not be involved in an innapropriate relationship with the headmaster.

The story begins with a murder and everyone is a suspect. The story is told from different perspectives and also involved an incident which happened far in the past involving the headmaster and a young woman. You know immediately that this incident is important but not sure how.

So the story slowly evolves and slowly uncovers the truth about all the main characters which is absolutely genius…so well done. This is were Lisa Jewell shines…in slowly unraveling how characters are related or connected to each other.

I liked this story because of how it was written. Well paced and an excellent mystery. The characters were compelling, complicated and full of mystery. To say not everything is as it seemed is an understatement, especially the females in this book…I won’t say anymore.

There is not much I didn’t like. It was readable and well written and not boring at all.

All in all, a great read. Happy reading everyone.
