Watching: A Novel
Alison Gaylin, the USA Today bestselling and Edgar and Shamus Award–winning author, presents a slick, riveting, and all-too-plausible tale of psychological suspense where a mother is desperate to protect her family as they become targets of a group of violent conspiracy theorists. The narrative follows Meg Russo, who was behind the wheel when a tragic accident occurred, claiming the life of her husband, Justin. Four months later, Meg reopens her small local bookstore, but soon finds herself and her daughter Lily facing a series of bizarre messages and threatening visitors.
These strangers are obsessed with a young adult novel titled The Prophesy, published thirty years earlier, and are convinced that it heralds the apocalypse. They have linked the book, and Meg's reclusive musician father, to Satanism, and have vowed to seek revenge on the author – Meg. As the threats turn violent, Meg begins to suspect that Justin's death may not have been an accident. To find answers and save her family, Meg must get to the root of these dangerous lies and face the believers head-on before it's too late.
The story delves into the psychological tension as Meg navigates the unfolding events, driven by her desperation to protect her loved ones from the escalating threat posed by the conspiracy theorists. The narrative explores the power of belief, the dangers of misinformation, and the lengths a mother will go to safeguard her family. Alison Gaylin's skilled storytelling weaves a suspenseful and all-too-plausible tale that keeps readers on the edge of their seats, grappling with the unsettling realization that sometimes, the world truly is out to get you.
