    About this audiobook

    Two years after Nina Peterson's brutal murder her husband Steve is still fighting to bring the killer to justice. Their six-year-old son Neil remains haunted by the terrible vision of the murderer's hands wrapped around his mother's throat. And Sharon Martin, who has grown to love both Steve and Neil, wishes only to ease their pain and suffering.
    But as 19-year-old Ronald Thompson sits wrongly convicted on the eve of his execution, a stranger is still watching -- still plotting as he did before, living for the moment when he can kill and kill again...

      It’s the 1970s, inside a terraced house in Walthamstow, East London, and Tyronne’s sister is saying odd things: “She started talking about the Blitz, Hitler, rationing. It disturbed my mum, because it was coming out of a two-year-old!” Then, one day,

      Stranded by bad weather the other day in Portland, Oregon, I took a walk. The town still prides itself on its 1880s converted sawmills-and-saloons ambience. But, surveying central Portland from a nearby hilltop, I was struck more by the similarity to

      A Stranger is Watching
      I have to admit that this is the first book I have ever read a book by this famous author. I love mysteries so I don't know how I have missed such a classic writer. I am only reading it because it was left in a holiday apartment I am renting.
      I could not put this book down. It is fast paced, you feel empathy for all the characters as Clark, brings them all to life with their tales from the past and heart wrenching stories. I could visualise Grand Central Station, from the graphic details. Clark is now on my radar and I look forward to reading more of her books.
    • 2/5
      Listened to the NLS Talking Book version. Typical action/adventure. Ending was a ridiculously unrealistic another-moment-and-they'd-all-be-dead scenario.
    • 4/5
      Though this book does lend itself to continuation of debate on the use of the Death Penalty. Reading the novel makes you feel as if you are sitting on the edge of your seat. The entire book takes place in two days, and are the pace never slackens. You are given the opportunity to see the killers perspective as well as that of the victims.You will be keeping track of the minutes as you read this book.

      Classic MHC. A teenager wrongly convicted of a woman's murder, waiting on death row for his execution in a few days. A grieving widower and son, seeking closure and healing. A psychotic killer who has never been traced to five unsolved murders. Well-written, entertaining, nail-biting.
