This is a thoroughly engrossing psychological suspense. Jewell creates well-rounded characters who breathe on the page. This story is all about the title: who is watching who. I don't want to go into the plot too much but here's a rundown of the characters: a twenty-something trying to get her life back on track, a charming headmaster who (almost) everyone likes, an awkward 14-year-old boy just discovering girls, a clinically paranoid mother, a teenage girl trying to do right by her mother, her best friend, and herself. Plus a heart surgeon, a pregnant systems analyst, and a moody, depressed mother. There is a murder here and the resolution is well done. If you like suspense, give this one a try. It's excellent.
