Night Watcher

De: Daphne Woolsoncroft

Narrado por: Helen Laser, Will Collyer, Daphne Woolsoncroft

Nola Strate, a late night call-in radio host in Portland, Oregon, listens to stories of hauntings and cryptic sightings for a living. But one foggy, wet evening, when a caller describes an eerie scene that triggers memories of Nola’s escape from a serial killer years before, she becomes fearfully aware that he’s back to finish what he started.

Nola Strate is being watched, again.

After an encounter with a notorious serial killer in the Pacific Northwest as a child, Nola has grown up and tried her best to forget her traumatizing night with The Hiding Man. She installed security cameras outside her Oregon home, never spoke of her experience, and now hosts Night Watch, a popular radio call-in show her semi‑famous father used to run. When coincidences lead Nola to believe that she is being stalked, and a caller on Night Watch has a live incident with an intruder in the caller's home, the description of whom is chillingly familiar, Nola is convinced that the killer has resurfaced and is coming for her.

With a mysterious next‑door neighbor lurking in the shadows, more people getting hurt, the police not taking her concerns seriously, and evidence pointing towards her own father, Nola decides to become, like her listeners, a Night Watcher herself, and uncover the monster behind The Hiding Man's mask.

Listening to this book with my headphones… it had me CONSTANTLY looking over my shoulder! Very well written and easily the best thriller I’ve read in a long time!! Love it!!

LOVE DAPHNE

I’ve been listening to her podcast for YEARS and was so excited when she said she was writing a book 😭 and I’m SO HAPPY SHE DID it was a 10/10 all the way through!!

Definitely a must read for true crime/horror fans!

I love the main character Anola, she’s very relatable. The hiding man is a terrifying depiction! And the narrators are phenomenal. I loved the book!

Couldn’t stop listening

I loved the twists and turns. Just when I thought I had it figured out, I was in for a surprise.
I love Daphne’s podcasts with her husband Heath so I thought I would like this book too. It surpassed my expectations. Great job. Looking forward to your next book Daphne.

Full Circle

I enjoyed Daphne’s first book! I have been a long time listener of several of her podcasts including Nightwatch and Going West! It was awesome full circle moments when “Elder’s coffee” made an appearance as well as the last quote- “don’t be a stranger.” The book felt like Daphne was on the podcast telling a true story. Just when you think you know who the killer is, your mind shifts and it’s just not who you expected! Great job Daphne!

10/10

Such a good book! I couldn’t quit listening. The voice actors were also great! Can’t recommend enough, especially if you are a true crime junkie.

Couldn’t stop listening!!!

This novel is fantastic! It has such great character development and a captivating plot that kept me hooked from the minute I hit play. The writing is so well done, you would think Daphne had been publishing written works her whole life. She really brought all of the characters and places to life, making me feel immersed in the story and the characters’ emotions. I ended up reading this in one sitting and the only downside is that this book ends. Please continue writing, I can’t wait for your next hit Daphne!

Loved it!

Great storyline. Well written. Strong characters. Narration was awesome. Overall I really enjoyed it. Some thrillers have whiny characters, unrealistic situations, characters making incredibly stupid decisions. I have to say I didn’t do an eye roll once. :)
