Brought to you by Penguin.
The gripping, original, standout new thriller from the author of THE MEMORY WOOD and THE RISING TIDE.
*******
'I watch them because I think they need help.'
Mercy Lake likes to fix things. To fix people. Trapped inside during daylight hours, hostage to her phobias, she uses the cover of night to watch the people in her town. And if someone needs her help, she steps in - secretly and with compassion.
When Mercy meets Louis, her lonely, unusual life is suddenly filled with excitement. Because Louis likes intervening in other people's lives too, only he prefers a more direct - even violent - approach. As they grow closer, Mercy is enchanted but frightened by his actions. How many lines is he willing to cross? And how much is he prepared to risk?
And then there's Nadia. Nadia knows she's being watched, even if the police think differently. But with her own secrets to protect, she's not going to wait around for the watcher to make their move. She's going to stop them dead.
'Small acts of kindness are far less effective than fear'

PRAISE FOR THE PEOPLE WATCHER
: -
A propulsive, sinister, gripping tale about the dark side of human nature that is hard to put down.
Alex Michaelides -
Original, creepy and devastatingly clever. I raced through The People Watcher yet didn’t want it to end. Utterly addictive. I loved it!
Andrea Mara -
Deftly plotted and deliciously twisty, this character-led thriller is a step outside the rest
Heat -
‘Absorbing and richly detailed, a novel with real heart.’
LISA BALLANTYNE, Richard & Judy book club bestselling author of The Guilty One
