'Propulsive, sinister, gripping' - ALEX MICHAELIDES, international bestselling author of The Silent Patient and The Fear

'Such a brilliant read with such well drawn characters - I loved it' - NIKKI SMITH, author of The Beach Party

'One thing I've learned, these last few weeks, is that small acts of kindness are far less effective than fear...'

She watches them in the dead of night. Hidden in plain sight, Mercy Lake provides what people need. Quietly. In secret. Making lives better.

But he is watching too. And he doesn't want to help anyone - he wants to punish them. And he wants Mercy to join him.

Soon, though, their activities draw the attention of the very person Mercy is desperate to avoid. Someone who will go to extreme lengths to make her pay for knowing their secret . . .

The People Watcher is a shiver-inducing, heart-pounding suspense thriller that will keep you up into the early hours - perfect for fans of Alex Michaelides, Helen Fields and Catherine Ryan Howard.
