This week’s featured book is They’re Watching by Gregg Hurwitz:
- Mass Market Paperback: 528 pages

Patrick Davis sells his first screen-play and suddenly his life begins to fall apart. An actor on the set accuses Davis of assaulting him & sues the production company, forcing him to return to his teaching job. His marriage is also crumbling; his wife has an affair with a neighbor.
One morning, Davis is following his morning routine and goes outside to pick up the newspaper. As he picks up the paper, a DVD falls out. It’s the first of many DVDs, showing that he and his wife are being monitored by dozens of cameras hidden within their house. The monitoring equipment isn’t the kind that you can get at your neighborhood electronics store, implicating the government or some similar agency is the source. Davis is finally contacted by his stalkers, first by emails and phone calls. To get his life back, Davis must follow their every instruction.
Davis is desperate to find the source behind his misery. At first, he claims its the actor suing him for assault. But when he is killed and Davis is the prime suspect, his life sinks closer to disaster. Working with his stalkers is no longer an option; he must discover their identity and put an end to this wicked game.
They’re Watching is one of the many books that I can’t wait to read when it originally releases but unfortunately didn’t get the opportunity to. When I heard it was releasing in paperback, I couldn’t pass up the second chance to read it! I’m a long-time fan of Hurwitz’s work; he’s an incredibly talented writer, one of the top writers of this genre.
As with his previous books, They’re Watching is a stunning, fast-paced, suspenseful read. It’s not often that I pick up a book of this sort and find myself unable to identify the “bad guy” by at least midway through the book. I was literally stunned when the truth was revealed. I literally put the book down and clapped, I was so completely surprised and impressed at the execution of the novel. This book is destined to hit the big screen, the storyline, pacing & suspense make it perfect for Hollywood!
I highly recommend this book, along with all of Hurwitz’s other books. I guarantee, after completing this book, you’ll want to rush out and by all the author’s other books!
