What would it take to make you intervene? When Ella Longfield overhears two attractive young men flirting with teenage girls on a train, she thinks nothing of it—until she realises they are fresh out of prison and her maternal instinct is put on high alert. But just as she’s decided to call for help, something stops her. The next day, she wakes up to the news that one of the girls—beautiful, green-eyed Anna Ballard—has disappeared. A year later, Anna is still missing. Ella is wracked with guilt over what she failed to do, and she’s not the only one who can’t forget. Someone is sending her threatening letters—letters that make her fear for her life. Then an anniversary appeal reveals that Anna’s friends and family might have something to hide. Anna’s best friend, Sarah, hasn’t been telling the whole truth about what really happened that night—and her parents have been keeping secrets of their own. Someone knows where Anna is—and they’re not telling. But they are watching Ella. Review: An interesting book with various twists and turns. A good read. - As someone who is now well into their senior years but has been a voracious reader for more than 7 decades I love all kinds of books on a wide variety of topics. I love both non-fiction scientific topics to fiction thrillers with different twists and turns. This is why when I saw this 287-page soft cover novel (I am watching you by Teresa Driscoll) while browsing on desertcart I purchased the book. I enjoy unusual plots and mysteries that force you to think about the character’s motivations as the story flows. The short chapters are great because it keeps you turning the pages to find out what is going to happen next. This story begins when a woman, Ella Longfield, while on a train, when sees two men who begin flirting with two girls on the same train. She hears them talking and discovers the two men just got out of prison. She is considering possibly notifying the police about these two suspicious men but decides not to do anything because it is none of her business; however, when one of the girls turns up missing, she regrets not doing anything at the time. There are also some other family secrets that reveal themselves later in the book that makes this a page turning read. I never give away too much information when reviewing any novel, but if you like a well-written book with an interesting and compelling story, you may want to check out this novel. Rating: 5 Stars.

Review: A Slow Start With Two Apparent Main Storylines But May Be Worth a Read - The story starts with Ella Longfield on a train going to London. See observes and tries not to listen to two very young teenage girls also traveling to London. Along the way, two young men board the train with all their belongings in large black plastic bags. They talk with the girls. The girls and guys seem very interested in each other. The girls agree to meet the guys at a bar later that evening. The next morning, one of the girls is missing. The storylines proceeds from here with a hunt for the two men, but goes cold. A year later, a TV show on the crime is broadcast. Several houses of cards start to fall. The fallout means that there are more potential perpetrators than just the two guys. The author tells the nearly all of the story in a series of changing chapters that basically are told in the first person of the chapter’s title character. They are: THE WITNESS. Ella Longfield, a florist that was the witness on the train who was the target of much revilement for not taking action on the train to protect the two young girls. THE FATHER. Henry Ballard, father of Anna, the missing girl. He has more on his mind than just his missing daughter. THE FRIEND. Sarah Headley, Anna’s best friend and companion on the trip to London. She blames herself for Anna going missing, but she has more than just Anna on her mind. THE PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR. Matthew Hill. An ex-police detective hired by Ella Longfield to find who is sending her threating postcards. While he is very diligent, he has competing family and professional issues. WATCHING… An unknown individual that has a serious problem with the witness, Ella. The B-storylines are quite rich for each of the above main characters. The author integrates these B-storylines in to the main storylines (see below for why the plural). These characters’ personal issues besides providing depth to the characters themselves, they also further the main storylines. The reading of this novel enriched the enjoyment of reading this novel. I do have two issues with this novel. First the start was slow because of all of the changes in the focus of the missing girl storyline. Second, there seemed to be two storylines, the hunting for Anna and the watcher which by the title of the novel would indicate to be the main story. My major criterion for a high star rating is that the storyline grab and hold my attention and literally compel my continued reading. This jumping between characters and seemingly two main storylines made the first half very difficult for me to want to continue reading. There are not any graphic sex scenes or foul language. There is one scene of somewhat graphic violence at what I would call the scene TVMA at the most. These aspects should not discourage anyone reading his novel. Overall, I am at a quandary to rate this novel with three or four stars. While I did have issues that I described above, at the end I did like this novel so I am rating this novel with four stars. Probably, a three and half star rating would be more accurate. If you are going to read this novel, slug it through the first half and, I believe, that you will enjoy all the twists and turns in this novel. There are no loose ends at the end of the novel. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,900,231 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #761 in Psychological Thrillers (Books) #800 in Murder Thrillers #1,236 in Suspense Thrillers | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 141,944 Reviews | ## Images ![I Am Watching You - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DZhL9NEyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An interesting book with various twists and turns.

There were so many elements to the story that just didn’t connect. I was intrigued to find out the ending, so I kept reading to find out what happened. Luckily, in the end, all of those little pieces fit together so neatly to create a really great mystery! I Am Watching You switches between multiple perspectives. The first is, obviously, the witness: Ella Longfield. She has experienced such a whirlwind of hate after coming forward as a witness after Anna’s disappearance. Her business suffered, she questioned her mental state constantly, and has slightly neglected her family due to all of the stress. She seems like a genuinely apologetic woman, trying to make amends and not involve the police in her problems when Anna’s family has had such a rough time. I really enjoyed getting to know her and experiencing the issues in her own life. At first, I didn’t think most of these issues were pertinent to the storyline but, I promise you, it all makes sense in the end. The other POVs are Anna’s father: Henry Ballard. He’s a farmer with a wife and another daughter who is obviously hiding something. We get the sense from early on that his secrets pertain to Anna’s disappearance. His own life is in shambles; he has had to sell off some serious acreage to pay the bills. Being a farmer isn’t exactly a lucrative career. Then there’s the friend, Sarah, who was with her that night and is hiding her own secrets. It’s easy to tell that she feels guilty for what she did that night, but we don’t find out until the second half of the book what exactly she did wrong. The final POV is the private investigator, Matthew Hill, who was hired by Ella to determine who is sending her the postcards. We get a glimpse into his life as well, but his most meaningful experiences involve the police investigating Anna’s disappearance. Obviously, when you read the title, it’s clear that someone is watching Ella. We get short chapters as the watcher, where it’s obvious this person’s mental state is very fragile. He or she has created an obsession with Ella and wants to be involved in her life. Every aspect of I Am Watching You showcases different stages of parenthood and having children. It was subtle, but I figured it out near the end of the novel. We get to experience what it’s like to lose a child, like Anna’s parents; what it’s like to be a new parent, like the Private Investigator Matthew Hill; what it’s like as a child to be neglected and abused by a parent, like Anna’s friend, Sarah; and what it’s like to have your children experience life-altering event as a teenager, like Ella and her son, Luke. I’m not a parent myself, but it was easy to get into these situations and realize how hard being a parent actually is. Some of them were handled really well, while others were shown in a more negative light. Like I said, literally EVERYTHING comes together in the end. There is no stone left unturned, no questions that I had to ask about the plot or the characters. Everyone involved in the whole narrative has a role to play in the ending. Although I do enjoy when some books leave things a bit open for interpretation, I can appreciate an author who ties everything up with a nice big bow. That’s how I Am Watching You ends, and I enjoyed every thrill-seeking moment of it! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/104369584-i-am-watching-you](https://www.desertcart.it/products/104369584-i-am-watching-you) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-07-23*
