Longlisted for the CWA John Creasey (New Blood) Dagger 2017.

A clever first novel with a sinister setting in London where blocks of flats are being demolished. The juxtaposition of the bird watcher protagonist, Lily, and her people watching is a clever one as she views the people in the flats opposite. This device used ensures the atmosphere builds well and this is also helped with the intriguing chapter headings. The protagonist has a great imagination; names the people, gives them lives and witnesses things she should not.  Strangely she is mistaken for a doctor and when called to a dead woman, whom she has recently visited, she takes on her own investigation.  That’s when things get mysterious and the novel really changes gear. Lily gets into all sorts of trouble, someone is watching her, but who, and is she really watching at all and indeed seeing what she's seeing?
