The People Watcher

LoveReading Says

Phobia-ridden and occasionally obsessive Mercy Lake walks in the shadows, once a snoop always a snoop. A socially awkward twenty-something with a debilitating fear of sunlight, she watches people who have a problem they can't seem to fix. She collects lives and intervenes in the way others collect Pokemon cards, perfume bottles or parking fines. 

With her mismatched eyes, her home cut hair, and barricaded home she is one of the Night People. Watching with her binoculars so close she can track heart rates from an artery in their neck.

One by one we meet her people, Lovesick Linda, Home Alone Jacob, Raj the Reborn, and Edward Gropey Hands through her Celestrons as she tries to fix them like she tries to fix all broken things. Once she meets Louis and realises that her small acts of kindness are far less effective than fear...the thriller escalates at break-neck speed. Sam Lloyd is fast becoming one of my go-to reads for a creepy, page-turning thriller. Keep an eye out for The People Watcher, you won't be able to put it down.
