By: Michael Robotham

Narrated by: Sean Barrett

Length: 12 hrs and 13 mins

Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Michael Robotham brings us face-to-face with a manipulative psychopath who has destroyed countless lives and is about to claim one final victim.

Marnie Logan often feels like she's being watched: A warm breath on the back of her neck, or a shadow in the corner of her eye that vanishes when she turns her head.

She has reason to be frightened. Her husband Daniel has inexplicably vanished, and the police have no leads in the case. Without proof of death or evidence of foul play, she can't access his bank accounts or his life insurance. Depressed and increasingly desperate, she seeks the help of clinical psychologist Joe O'Loughlin.

O'Loughlin is concerned by Marnie's reluctance to talk about the past and anxious to uncover what Marnie is withholding that could help with her treatment. The breakthrough in Marnie's therapy and Daniel's disappearance arrives when Marnie shares with O'Loughlin her discovery of the Big Red Book, a collage of pictures, interviews, and anecdotes from Marnie's friends and relatives that Daniel had been compiling as part of a surprise birthday gift.

Daniel's explorations into Marnie's past led him to a shocking revelation on the eve of his disappearance: Anyone who has ever gotten close to Marnie has paid an exacting price. A cold-blooded killer is eliminating the people in Marnie's life, and now that O'Laughlin is a part of it, he is next in line.

Suspenseful, surprising, couldn't stop listening

A spine tingling story with surprising twists and turns. Kept me awake during nightime commutes.

Wow!!! I’m hooked on Robotham! What’s next?

I think that now I’ve listened to all of Michael Robotham’s books except one! I’m hooked on his style, character development and the twists and turns that they hold. They’re thoughtful and well-written and each one has a great narrator that captures the characters well, especially this one! I wish I could find another similar author now that I’ve run out of books to listen to by him! You should must definitely read and buy this psychological thriller!

Great narration

Good mystery/thriller lots of twists and turns. Don't read the summery, it gives too much away. Just use your credit you won't be disappointed.

best book I've listened to so far

Would you consider the audio edition of Watching You to be better than the print version?

All I can say as it was the best I've ever listened to on my ipod!

What did you like best about this story?

If there were a page to turn, it would've been turned! Enjoyed it thoroughly.

Any additional comments?

Try it, you'll like it!

Slow start but really great listen

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes - once I got through the first 15 minutes I didn't want to stop until the end.

Any additional comments?

This author is trustworthy - that means his endings of the books are consistent with the stories and characters - although not predictable. Robotham doesn't have to present a long explanation at the end to tie up all the dead ends he wrote him self into and couldn't work out by the deadline. His story makes good reading through the ending. This is unusual even for authors I enjoy on a regular basis. My only objection is that Audible doesn't have book 6 in the series and there is a slight disconnect for me since I've read and listened to all the earlier books.

Another great read

Another amazing book, did not see the end coming. ..great story and and love the reader, he brings the characters to life!

Couldnt "Put it Down!"

Where does Watching You rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I was hooked into this book in the first five minutes. It's right up there with top 20 of thrillers I have listened to and I can't wait to download another one by this author. So many twists and turns - keeps you guessing, and was well written besides.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Professor Joe...He is part humanitarian, part psychic and part psychologist. I can't vouch for all his theories, and wonder if "real" detectives would follow the leads of such an expert,. but in this case, they did, and they panned out, and the story moved forward. He was the glue.

Which scene was your favorite?

The very very end...and don't read ahead!!!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It just made me want to go on long rides in the car, where I do most of my listening. I hated it to be over!

Any additional comments?

Bravo to all - the author, the reader, and the production company.

I might be the only person who didn't like the narrator..

I feel like I read so many reviews praising this narrator, but it took me almost until the end of the book to get used to him.. Not really a fan.

The story was good, though, definitely worth listening to. It was a bit predictable at a point but still had enough surprises and twists to keep my interested

Never a disappointment

Robotham is rapidly becoming one of my favorite authors. Do yourself a favor and start the series at the beginning so you can watch the characters develop.

This book blew me away!

I listened to the last 3 minuets of this book 3 times and I still have my mouth wide open!!! I. Loved. This. Book. From start to finish, this wonderfully written and performed book had me on the edge of my seat and gripping my steering wheel. I know I say this with every book in this series, but this is my FAVORITE so far. The plot, the characters, the scene, even the circumstances fit perfectly into each part of a huge puzzle for a spectacular outcome.
