“Pulse-pounding locked-room suspense.” —Elle

“Nightwatching is like nothing I've read before. I wolfed it down in two sittings; it's amazing.”—Lisa Jewell

A footstep on the stairs. A second to react. What happens next will determine everything.

Home alone with her young children during a blizzard, a mother tucks her son back into bed in the middle of the night. She hears a noise—old houses are always making some kind of noise. But this sound is disturbingly familiar: it’s the tread of footsteps, unusually heavy and slow, coming up the stairs.

She sees the figure of a man appear down the hallway, shrouded in the shadows. Terrified, she quietly wakes her children and hustles them into the oldest part of the house, a tiny, secret room concealed behind a wall. There they hide as the man searches for them, trying to tempt the children out with promises and scare the mother into surrender.

In the suffocating darkness, the mother struggles to remain calm, to plan. Should she search for a weapon or attempt escape? But then she catches another glimpse of him. That face. That voice. And at once she knows her situation is even more dire than she’d feared, because she knows exactly who he is—and what he wants.

Opening was grabbing

Too much audible introspection and characters not realistic especially the cops who were obviously sexist idiots.

Too long

This is the fourth out of five books some Instagram twit recommended… two were awful, this one is fairly good… She could’ve cut out probably three hours, but it definitely kept you on the edge of your seat! Cant they find a man to record the male voices?? Otherwise narraration was very good!

Scary!

This was so well written and narrated-goosebump-inducing! Great ending! I look forward to the author’s next book.

loved it!

one of the best I've listened to since starting audio books about a year ago

Narrator was fantastic

It was good, slow in parts, but definitely worth a listen. The Narrator was absolutely amazing. I listen to a lot of books, and just wow.
