An utterly addictive suspense thriller from the author of The Rising Tide, The People Watcher blends ingenious plotting with deft character work, as a woman determined to quietly help people and a man with a desire to punish collide with devastating consequences.
'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.
