I Am Watching You

Ella Longfield is travelling by train when she overhears two young men chatting up teenage girls in the next seats. She dismisses it at first. Then she realises the men have just come out of prison, and her instincts as a mother start to sound an alarm.

She decides to call for help, but something holds her back. The next morning the news reports that one of the girls, green-eyed Anna Ballard, has vanished.

A year on, Anna is still missing and Ella cannot shake the guilt over what she did not do. Letters begin arriving, threatening her, and she fears for her life. She is not the only person still haunted by that night.

An anniversary appeal for Anna prompts a closer look at those around the girl. Her best friend, Sarah, has not told the whole truth about what happened, and Anna's parents are keeping secrets too. Someone knows where Anna is and is staying silent.

This is a psychological suspense novel built around a missing person and a witness who blames herself. The mood is tense and secretive, with Ella watched as the doubts about everyone close to Anna grow.
