Reviews for The People Watcher: In the middle of the night, you can’t see her. But she sees you . . .

PRAISE FOR THE PEOPLE WATCHER * : * '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 * 'Absorbing and richly detailed, a novel with real heart.' * LISA BALLANTYNE, Richard & Judy book club bestselling author of The Guilty One * 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 *
