At first it seems harmless. Ella Longfield looks on as a couple of men start flirting with some teenage girls on a train. But when she realizes the men have recently been released from prison, she thinks she should intercede. Still, it’s hardly any of her business, is it? So she says nothing, only to discover later that one of the girls, Anna, has disappeared. Anna is still missing a year later and Ella is getting sinister, anonymous letters that hint her life is in danger. When Anna’s friend Sarah, finally comes forward with the truth about what really happened that night, and it comes to light the girl’s parents have also been holding back, Ella realizes she’s been caught in the middle of something that could very well cost her her life. This is one book that lives up to its promise (and its cover art). I was on pins and needles throughout the book

I have read a few books by this author and this is her first venture into the darker side of fiction. I have to admit I think it's quite a brave step veering away from a genre they are known and loved for, but as my favourite genre is crime/thrillers I was thrilled that the author had taken a step in this direction and she has shown just how talented she is.

The story flicks between different characters so that we are given different points of view to how each person is affected by the disappearance of Anna. No one knows what has happened to her and her family are understandably distraught. 

Ella I was really drawn to. The fact she has been getting threatening mail really intrigued me and I wanted to know who was sending them to her and why. 

The story is very much one of suspense. I was totally clueless to Anna's disappearance and what could have happened to her and I have to say that until everything was revealed in front of me, I just would never have worked it out. The author did well in leading me into different directions so that my suspicions kept getting aimed at different people only to be totally wrong. 

I Am Watching is a dark and tense read that had me hooked and had me keep turning those pages. It is full of suspense and red herrings that will keep the reader on their toes and leads you to a satisfying conclusion. I very much enjoyed the authors venture into the dark side and I really hope the author will be bringing more out in this genre.

I LOVE this author's writing and her previous two novels are among my favourite reads ever so I was eagerly waiting for this book. And wow! With this amazing, unputdownable, suspenseful masterpiece, Teresa Driscoll proves that she is right up there with the best thriller writers of today. This book is genius! What I admire most about this author is her beautiful writing, spare and yet heart-wrenching, and this book combines that wonderful writing with a tense, page-turning plot. A tense, pacy, sensitive and emotional story, written in the author's stunning and heart-tugging prose. A book that makes you think, one that will stay with me for a long time. One of the best psychological thrillers I have read! Right up there with Gone Girl and in my opinion better than The Girl On the Train. Cannot wait for more from this brilliant, versatile and incredibly talented author.
