The worst thing he can imagine - and all he can do is watch. The gripping new thriller from the R&J bestselling author

Aidan Poole logs on to his laptop late at night to Skype his girlfriend, Zoe. To his horror, he realizes that there is someone else in her flat, and Aidan can only listen to the sounds of a violent struggle - and then the chilling sound of silence.

Aidan is desperate to find out if Zoe is OK. So why doesn't he call the police?

When her body is found, DCI Jonah Sheens and his team take the case. They soon find that no one has a bad word to say about Zoe, a big-hearted young woman at the centre of a curious web of waifs and strays, everyone relying on her for support.

Each of these so-called friends is hiding dark secrets and buried resentments- has one of them been driven to do something unspeakable?

Or might Aidan have the biggest secret of them all?

Reviews for Watching from the Dark

An excellent detective novel. The opening scene is superb, and sets up the story beautifully. Gripping, multi-layered and fresh. Terrific -- Will Dean, author of Dark Pines A brilliant premise, perfectly executed. A genuine page turner - it kept me guessing right until the end. -- Chris Hammer, bestselling author of Scrublands A riveting new book, with such vivid characters -- Holly Watt, author of To the Lions An absolute gem - I was hooked from the first page -- Jo Jakeman, author of Sticks and Stones The first scene was brilliantly terrifying and the rest of the novel lived up to the strong opening - I had no idea who the killer was and it was superbly plotted. I loved the characters, too, especially the investigating team. I can see that this series is going to be a huge hit. -- Emily Koch, bestselling author of If I Die Before I Wake A cold blooded chiller from first page to last. I loved She Lies In Wait, Watching From The Dark is even better -- Chris Whitaker You'll be reluctant to put this book down until you've unravelled all its dark plot twists * Culture Fly * Lodge writes perceptively about rivalries between young women, showing how even the best-intended relationships can become toxic * The Sunday Times * A satisfyingly complex whodunnit that will keep readers gripped and baffled in equal measure * Daily Express * This page-turner of a novel is intricately and intelligently plotted, and keeps you guessing right up to its gripping close * Cambridge Edition * I really loved this. Jonah Sheens is a well-drawn and likeable detective, and what I like about Gytha's writing is that she thinks outside the box -- Gillian McAllister, bestelling author of How to Disappear
