An Amazon Charts bestseller.

What would it take to make you intervene?

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.

“Perhaps one of the best psychological thrillers released this year…” —India Today

From the Publisher

A teenage girl has disappeared. What would I have done if I had seen her on a train, harassed by a group of strange men only the day before? Would I have intervened? And if not, how could I have forgiven myself when I learned what happened?

These are questions I had never asked myself—until I picked up I Am Watching You. Reading about the impact on an ordinary family when their beloved daughter Anna goes missing, I was chilled to the bone, but also conflicted. Especially when Ella, the witness, begins to receive ominous postcards every night bearing the message “WHY DIDN’T YOU HELP HER?”

Where should my sympathies lie? With the witness, who could have acted but didn’t and is tormented by guilt? With the remorseful friend who didn’t save Anna? With the victim’s parents, who just want to see their daughter alive and well? Or even with the mysterious watcher, who will do anything to “protect” those he loves? I have to be honest: there were times during this fast-paced roller coaster of a novel when I wasn’t certain. Now even the most benign interactions I see in the world seem to have a shadow lurking behind them.

I Am Watching You had me absolutely hooked from the first page and kept me guessing until the last. This multilayered, suspenseful novel will pull you in so many directions, and you just might find yourself asking the same question I did: Would I have intervened?

- Jack Butler, Editor

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Novel - Compelling Read!
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2024

Teresa Driscoll writes a chillingly compelling page turner that is worth every bit of 5 stars.

So many authors ruin stories with completely unbelievable characters and events. Here with "I'm Watching You", Ms. Driscoll gives a master class in the opposite. Everything adds up - events are well thought out and truly believable. The twist at the end is perfect and executed in a way that when finished I was left feeling nothing but amazed.

This is NOT a novel where you end up hating every character - which seems to be in vogue now-a-days. As a matter of fact the way the character's backgrounds and personalities are revealed had me pulling for many of them - somehow feeling their pain even though they are fictional characters.

In this novel characters don't lie for no reason - which again you find in so many books now. Nice to see that there are many strong women included in this story as well.

I can't wait to read more from Ms. Driscoll.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, quick read.

I would rate this book somewhere between 3.5 and 4 stars. The premise is solid and I was hooked from the description alone.

While most chapters ended with a cliffhanger, the story would pick back up (from that viewpoint) days later with just a summary of what happened. That frustrated me.

I also didn't see the point of some of the side stories. They didn't add value for me.

It took until the middle of the book to get anywhere near guessing who may have been involved. I enjoyed the surprise ending, but there were literally no clues even suggesting the actual party/parties involved in the disappearance. I love looking back to see what hints I missed, but there were none.

This is in a quick, entertaining read. I would recommend it, but it's not a mind blowing must read.

I found I couldn’t put this book down, and when I did I couldn’t get it out of my mind. I read it in 2 days, I found it that good. Many people review a book and give a condensed version but I rarely do because I think giving too much of the story away kinda ruins it for the next reader. Teresa Driscoll is and excellent writer and she had me hooked by the very first pages. Her story kept me guessing right up until the end. Read it, you won’t be disappointed.

There are elements that are very good in Teresa Driscoll’s book, “I Am Watching You.” At the same time, there are other aspects of the book that were bothersome.

The book is composed of short chapters, with a number of characters relating the story. The main character is Ella, identified in her titled chapters as The Witness. Ella was on a train ride and thus became one of the last people to see Anna before she disappeared. She was also able to describe the two young men who had approached Anna and her friend, Sarah. Anna’s disappearance and probable murder haunts Ella throughout the book, as she blames herself for not doing anything to protect the young girls, who are both 16 years old.

Other characters are introduced, and some are painted as the potential guilty party. Ms. Driscoll makes the guesswork murky as many of the characters have secrets that may or may not be connected with Anna. The overall plot is good, and the author continues to keep us questioning who might have been involved right up to the book’s end.

What bothered me about the book was the writing style and some plot specifics. Ms. Driscoll has a habit of using partial sentences, and while these can be effective, they lose their power when used excessively. At first, because the story started off with Ella relating everything in first person, I believed it to be more of a stream-of-consciousness thought process. However, when the author moved to subsequent chapters (everything else in third person), the phrases and partial sentences continued. While it would have worked for Ella to tell her story in that manner, having every character think the same way seemed to blur the characterizations. The other stylistic device used over and over was the introduction of a secret at the end of almost every chapter. Again, this can be a powerful tool, but when used constantly, the story becomes more bothersome than exciting.

Most of the story is told a year later, and the investigation into Anna’s disappearance is still being worked on by the police. When the guilty person is finally revealed, it was difficult to believe that the police would have neglected to perform a full investigation (the author tells us at the end that police only did a “cursory” investigation on the person). I hesitate to say more as it would potentially become a spoiler, but for me, this became a fatal flaw and made the ending feel forced.

Coupled with the writing issues described a few paragraphs ago, I ended up with mixed feelings the book. I thought this could have been a great story, and there were elements – characters, a good plot idea, a number of misleading side stories, good dialogue – that might have added up to a fantastic read. Unfortunately, the writing style and the inefficient police investigation brought this down to a better-than-average tale. Three-and-a-half stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling Story

From the moment the story begins the reader is drawn into the young lives of 16-year olds and all the innocence. However, there is darkness and sadness ans very Adult behavior that unfolds all around that innocence tarnishing it forever. Will Sarah and Anna truly enjoy London? Will Jenny be able to adjust to life without a sister around the way Sarah has without Lily?

The story contains many relationships that intertwined and become convoluted but at the heart of it all is youth, friendships and a lifetime of build up. Complicated parental situations and a very well meaning witness to innocence lost round of the story that ultimately tells of a dark personality.

Once you begin, you can not stop until you know is there a killer or kidnapper lurking?

I especially liked the humaneness of the characters, how the author lets us in on how they tick, their insecurities, their inner most thoughts. I also found the twists and turns, all somehow tied to each character, to be believable…and suspenseful. Best aspect: the surprise ending, totally unexpected.
