Pre-release Review of ' Watching You' by Lisa Jewell

Publication Date: 26 Dec 18

What do a Headmaster, a student, an awkward teenager, a paranoid/delusional neighbor and a young waitress have in common? Tom Fitzgerald. Tom Fitzwilliam and his 'perfect' wife and his odd teenage son have had to uproot their lives a number of times. All due in part to Tom's job, currently as a Headmaster of a local private school. Unfortunately for Tom, his past will not remain behind him. He has curious and admiring neighbors, Joey (who has an intense crush on him) and her husband. He has nosy and paranoid neighbors that watch his home and take pictures, convinced that he is a part of a devious group of people assigned to make the lives of others miserable. He has a wife who he physically abuses (and she him) regularly, and a son who is desperately trying to break free from grasp of them both. When Tom ends up dead in his kitchen, everyone is questioned, and a surprising connection to the past is made that is closer to home than one would imagine. Well written and intriguing, you will do you best to figure out the twist in this one.....and it is a doozy!
