Book: I Am Watching You
Author: Teresa Driscoll
I Am Watching You is Teresa Driscoll’s debut psychological thriller, and I must say, I am impressed!
“When Ella Longfield overhears two attractive young men flirting with teenage girls on a train, she thinks nothing of it—until she realises they are fresh out of prison and her maternal instinct is put on high alert. But just as she’s decided to call for help, something stops her. The next day, she wakes up to the news that one of the girls—beautiful, green-eyed Anna Ballard—has disappeared.
A year later, Anna is still missing. Ella is wracked with guilt over what she failed to do, and she’s not the only one who can’t forget. Someone is sending her threatening letters—letters that make her fear for her life.
Then an anniversary appeal reveals that Anna’s friends and family might have something to hide. Anna’s best friend, Sarah, hasn’t been telling the whole truth about what really happened that night—and her parents have been keeping secrets of their own.Someone knows where Anna is—and they’re not telling. But they are watching Ella.”
This book had me from the beginning and throughout! It’s been a year since Anna went missing yet her disappearance has yet to be solved. As a reader you begin to have your suspicions of who it was that took her. And as new information is drip fed throughout the book, it becomes even more confusing as to what happened on the night she disappeared and who was involved.
I loved the twist at the end – And the fact that I personally didn’t see it coming, made it even better!
Please note I would not recommend this book to anyone under 18.
