Can You See Me?

Would you know if someone was watching you?

In the dark days since the sudden death of her surgeon husband, Julia’s main worry has always been Tash. Her student daughter was broken - she worshiped her father. But six months on, Julia thinks the light is returning. She is about to find out that she’s wrong.

When she saves the life of a boy who’s been hanging around her beach cottage, the questions start. All she has to go on is the butterfly tattoo on his wrist, but who is he? What was he doing there? And why was her late husband’s watch in his bag? Julia wants to believe it’s a casual theft, but an ominous arrival in the post confirms her suspicion that there is more than meets the eye.

As Tash remembers a string of strange incidents she had previously brushed off, Julia realizes they are both being watched. Someone’s been toying with them, trying to frighten them, but why?

Determined to protect her daughter, Julia races to discover the boy’s identity. But what she doesn’t realize is that the truth is right in front of her. Will she see it before it’s too late?

Spoiler alert

Not a thriller by any means but strangely, the descriptions of the moths kept me somewhat engaged. I am commenting only because I find the reviews of others so helpful. I didn't find the characters or story compelling.

Terrible

Could hardly listen to for an hour. Thought I would try again but it was no better

Just Ok

Likable characters but just a so-so story. The female narrator did a good job. Not that the male narrator was bad, I dreaded the chapter narrated by him. I had zero interest in the moth characteristics described before he blathered on about other boring stuff. It all tied into the story towards the end yet excruciating to get through. I finished it to see how it ended and because I always try to finish what I start.
