The atmospheric, haunting new thriller from the author of R&J pick The Memory Wood - original, moving and oh-so-dark.

'Propulsive, sinister, gripping' - ALEX MICHAELIDES, international bestselling author of The Silent Patient and The Fear

'Such a brilliant read with such well drawn characters - I loved it' - NIKKI SMITH, author of The Beach Party

'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.

AND HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE

Soon, 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 . . .

The People Watcher is a 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.

Reviews for The People Watcher

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  * '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 * SHOTS * Such a brilliant read with such well drawn characters – I loved it * Nikki Smith, author of The Beach Party *
