Nothing is as it seems in this latest brilliant instalment from the Detective Jonah Sheens series.

A riveting new book, with such vivid characters

The first scene was brilliantly terrifying and the rest of the novel lived up to the strong opening - I had no idea who the killer was and it was superbly plotted. I loved the characters, too, especially the investigating team. I can see that this series is going to be a huge hit.

A cold blooded chiller from first page to last. I loved She Lies In Wait, Watching From The Dark is even better

Sunday Times, Pick of the best suspense novels

A dark, deep, terrific thriller and a scorching portrait of friendship and its betrayal

This enjoyably chilling suspense tale conveys both the thrills and the dangers of being a teenager on the brink of adult independence...
