📖 Watching You
By Lisa Jewell
Narrated by Gabrielle Glaister, et al.


🔍 Book Overview
"Watching You" is a captivating psychological thriller filled with dark secrets, paranoia, and a web of lies in a seemingly perfect neighborhood. Set in an affluent area of Bristol, the story revolves around the lives of the people in the Melville Heights community, particularly a charismatic headmaster, his admirers, and the many hidden truths that slowly unravel.


🌆 The Story
The picturesque streets of Melville Heights seem like the perfect place to live, with a tight-knit community where everyone knows each other’s business. However, underneath the surface, tensions simmer, and secrets threaten to explode.

The story follows multiple characters, including:

  • Joey Mullen, who has recently moved into her brother's house with her new husband. Joey is struggling with her new life, feeling directionless, and soon becomes fixated on Tom Fitzwilliam, the charming and enigmatic headmaster of the local school.
  • Tom Fitzwilliam is beloved by students and admired by parents, but he may not be as perfect as he seems. His past holds secrets that some in the neighborhood are determined to uncover.
  • Freddie Fitzwilliam, Tom’s teenage son, is a socially awkward boy with a habit of spying on his neighbors, tracking their movements, and obsessing over their every action.
  • Jenna Tripp, one of Tom’s students, is suspicious of his charm and concerned about her best friend’s infatuation with him. She is also dealing with her mentally unstable mother, who believes Tom is involved in a conspiracy.

As the novel unfolds, a shocking murder is committed, and the truth about who was watching whom is slowly revealed. With multiple perspectives and timelines, Lisa Jewell expertly builds suspense, weaving together seemingly unrelated events that all connect in surprising ways.
