she’ll be watching.
Sarah and Daniel Goldman hire Holly Monroe to babysit their six-year-old son Jacob. Sarah has time to pursue her art and Holly gets away from her evil stepmother. Jacob gets a babysitter to have fun with. Holly has always wanted a normal family and believes the Goldman family fits the bill. She sees Sarah as a mother figure and Sarah has someone to watch her son.
But Sarah, always suspicious, takes too much of an interest in Holly, secretly taking pictures of her. Then there is Daniel, whose late-night whispering to their babysitter is making Sarah suspicious. When they make a major move, Sarah is happy to start over, but she soon discovers that someone is watching….
I always feel like somebody’s watching me
And I have no privacy (oh, oh)
I always feel like somebody’s watching me
Tell me is it just a dream? – Rockwell
Who is watching? Why? How?
This was an enjoyable mystery/thriller that although I enjoyed while reading, don’t believe I will remember in months to come. This reminds me of a good plane book. I nice way to spend time, that keeps your attention and keeps you occupied for the time being. For me, the premise was very inviting and while I was never bored, I was also never blown away. This lacked the ‘wow’ factor for me.
I did enjoy the who-can-be-trusted-or-believed vibe of the book. We get both Sarah’s and Holly’s POV, and readers are left to wonder what is really going on, who is reliable, who is watching, and who has secrets.
Thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada, and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
