The Watcher by Ross Armstrong
‘An eerily atmospheric reworking of Hitchcock’s Rear Window’ – The Guardian She’s watching you, but who’s watching her? Lily Gullick lives with her husband Aiden in a new-build flat opposite an estate which has been marked for demolition. A keen birdwatcher, she can’t help spying on her neighbours. Until one day Lily sees something suspicious through her binoculars and soon her elderly neighbour Jean is found dead. Lily, intrigued by the social divide in her local area as it becomes increasingly gentrified, knows that she has to act. But her interference is not going unnoticed, and as she starts to get close to the truth, her own life comes under threat. But can Lily really trust everything she sees? ‘Ross Armstrong will feed your appetite for suspense’ – Evening Standard‘Addictive and eerie, you’ll finish the book wanting to chat about it’ - Closer Magazine, Must Read
