Night Watcher
by Daphne Woolsoncroft
dark
tense
fast-paced
Thank you @grandcentralpub and @hachetteaudio for the complimentary DRC & ALC.
Ohhh this was creeptastic! I’m pretty sure my heart rate rivaled a hummingbird at times! I started reading Night Watcher one evening, thinking I’d just squeeze in a few chapters before bed… big mistake. BIG! This was strictly daytime reading only. 🤪
Night Watcher was so fast paced, I was hooked from the first few pages, and it did not let up, keeping me guessing until the end. I was constantly telling myself ‘just one more chapter.’ I ended up downloading the audio too just so I could keep reading on my way to and from work. Huge shout out to the narrators, Helen Laser, and Will Collyer. Their performance was top notch!
That said, I did have a few “What the hell Nola?!” moments. Some of her decisions made me want to throw the book across the room, and there was also one scene that was a little too ‘out there’ for me, but I so invested in the story and not knowing whodunnit that I happily kept reading. The ending was a bit of a letdown for me too. Not bad, just a little anticlimactic.
If you’re a fellow scaredy cat like me, give this a go. This book is scary, but thrilling scary, not nightmare-inducing. Just… maybe avoid reading it at night.
