Someone Is Watching: A Novel

Someone Is Watching: A Novel

A pulse-pounding thriller perfect for fans of Lisa Gardner and Mary Higgins Clark with a sly nod toward Alfred Hitchcockâ€™s classic film Rear Window, Someone Is Watching boasts the extraordinary edge-of-your-seat storytelling of bestselling author Joy Fielding at the height of her powers.
Â
As a special investigator for a hotshot Miami law firm, Bailey Carpenter is smart, savvy, and fearless. When sheâ€™s assigned to spy on a deadbeat dad in the middle of the night, Bailey thinks nothing of the potential dangers, only that she needs to gather evidence. Then she is blindsidedâ€”attacked and nearly killed.
Â
Now the firm grip Bailey once had on her life is shaken. Her nightmares merge into her waking hours and sheâ€™s unable to venture beyond her front door without panicking. A veritable prisoner in her own home, Bailey is uncertain whom she can trust. But old habits die hard, and soon Bailey finds a new use for her idle binoculars: casually observing from her window neighboring buildings and other peopleâ€™s lives. This seemingly harmless diversion becomes a guilty pleasure when Bailey fixates on the handsome guy across the streetâ€”until she realizes that he is also watching her. Suddenly she must confront the terrifying possibility that he may be the man who shattered her life.
Â
Though crippled by fear, Bailey knows she canâ€™t ignore her suspicions and risk leaving a predator at large. With the police making no headway in solving her case, sheâ€™s determined to overcome her terror and reclaim the power she lost by unmasking her attacker and taking him down herself. But itâ€™s a harrowing battle that threatens to wreck Baileyâ€™s credibility, compromise an investigation, and maybe even claim her sanity.

Praise for Someone Is Watching
Â
â€œSomeone Is WatchingÂ gripped me from the first to the very last page. Bailey Carpenter is a heroine whoâ€™s both victim and warrior woman, a fascinating sleuth who will linger with you long after youâ€™ve finished this thrilling read.â€â€”Tess Gerritsen

â€œJoy Fielding has long been a go-to author for me. She never fails to deliver an edge-of-your-seat read, and with her patented blend of complex characters and escalating suspense she is in top form here. I highly recommend Someone Is Watching.â€â€”Karen Robards

â€œJoy Fielding pens a spiraling tale of paranoia and suspense, as sultry as a Miami night. Readers will find a heroine to root for, scold, and ultimately adore in Bailey Carpenter. Though comparisons to Rear Window will inevitably arise, Fielding has created something even more remarkable: a modern-day Gaslight in which both cat and mouse are real, flawed, and eminently relatable.â€â€”Jenny Milchman

â€œSomeone Is Watching is a gripping, fast-paced psychological thriller reminiscent of Rear Window and the works of Lisa Gardner. . . . Not geared to the faint of heart, Fieldingâ€™s story of one womanâ€™s search for justice, understanding, and internal peace is nothing short of arresting.â€â€”Booklist (starred review)

â€œThis engrossing standalone from bestseller Fielding makes you care about Bailey Carpenter. . . . The characters pulsate with life, and there are a few shocks in storeâ€”for Bailey and the readerâ€”before the denouement. And the presence of Jade, Claireâ€™s outspoken teen daughter, blows everyone else off the page.â€â€”Publishers Weekly (starred review)
