What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Discover the shiver-inducing, heart-pounding suspense thriller that will keep you up into the early hours - perfect for fans of Alex Michaelides, Helen Fields and Catherine Ryan Howard.
'One thing I've learned, these last few weeks, is that small acts of kindness are far less effective than fear...'
She watches them in the dead of night. Hidden in plain sight, Mercy Lake provides what people need. Quietly. In secret. Making lives better.
But he is watching too. And he doesn’t want to help anyone - he wants to punish them. And he wants Mercy to join him.
Soon, though, their activities draw the attention of the very person Mercy is desperate to avoid.
Someone who will go to extreme lengths to make her pay for knowing their secret . . .
'Propulsive, sinister, gripping' - ALEX MICHAELIDES, international bestselling author of The Silent Patient and The 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!

'Absorbing and richly detailed, a novel with real heart.'
LISA BALLANTYNE, Richard & Judy book club bestselling author of The Guilty One
-
'A taut and immersive story about a troubled, complex but ultimately enchanting character. Twisty and dark as the night itself, it is beautifully written, compulsive and impossible to put down. A triumph.'
Neil Lancaster
-
Another corker from the author of The Memory Wood
SAGA magazine
-
An unsettling thriller
Woman & Home
-
This is Sam Lloyd's third novel, though the plotting and characterisation show the sure touch of a veteran. This marks him out as one of the authors to watch over the next few years
