Praise for 'Watching You'

Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review
'Always surprising and never dull…the plot is so twisted and the psychology so perverse, even the most alert reader might misread the clues.’

Publisher’s Weekly (US)
‘Robotham’s disturbing eighth thriller  [is a] steady and commanding book with an ending that’s sure to give even the most jaded reader a shock.'

EW (Entertainment Weekly)
‘It’ll keep you guessing and gasping.’

Murder By The Book (US)
'Robotham tells his tale with humor, great pacing, and excellent character delineations. The plot of WATCHING YOU is bizarrely satisfying. It twists so much, it’s easy to be quite wrung out at the end.' 

Bookgasm (US)
‘Robotham remains among the most inventive and intriguing authors in today’s crowded thriller realm.’

Crime Fiction Lover (UK)
‘This is psychological thriller writing at its very best.’

Linwood Barclay (Sunday Times best-selling author)
‘Robotham continues to write intricately plotted stories that are rich in character. I really care about these people.’​

Graeme Blundell in The Australian
'It's Robotham's darkest work - and that's saying something - with chilling gothic set pieces that would have made Hitchcock blanch. No other crime writer investigates the psychopath's compulsion with such forensic rigour or quite the same elegant and poised prose.'

Sue Turnbull in the Sydney Morning Herald
'Robotham renders the ordinary extraordinary...[and] delivers the kind of adrenalin rush a gripping thriller is expected to deliver.'

South China Morning Post, Hong Kong
'Michael Robotham's series featuring clinical psychologist Joe O'Loughlin mixes punchy prose, zippy dialogue and a splash of horror with well-crafted plots.'

Karen Hardy in the Brisbane Times
'It was scary.'

Buzz Magazine, Australia
'This is a book you won't want to put down.'

Bella Magazine UK
'Robotham is on top form in this latest thriller'

Catholic Herald UK
'Michael Robotham’s books have been steadily getting better and bolder. The Australian former journalist writes clever, engaging and terrifying books that are somehow filled with sadness and soul… Robotham delivers another exquisite tale.'

West Australian (Perth)
'Another cracking suspense yarn from one of the best in the genre…will glue you till the last page.'

Herald-Sun (Melbourne)
'One of Australia's best crime writers delivers as usual, a page-turning thriller packed with surprises.'

The Manly Daily (Sydney)
'...a thrilling read that will leave you gasping for breath.'
