The gripping, original, new thriller from the author of THE MEMORY WOOD.

Mercy Lake likes to fix things. To fix people. Trapped inside during daylight hours, hostage to her phobias, she uses the cover of night to watch the people in her town. And if someone needs her help, she steps in - secretly and with compassion.

When Mercy meets Louis, her lonely, unusual life is suddenly filled with excitement. Because Louis likes intervening in other people's lives too, only he prefers a more direct - even violent - approach. As they grow closer, Mercy is enchanted but frightened by his actions. How many lines is he willing to cross? And how much is he prepared to risk?

And then there's Nadia. Nadia knows she's being watched, even if the police think differently. But with her own secrets to protect, she's not going to wait around for the watcher to make their move. She's going to stop them dead.

Join in and use the felt flaps to help along in this interactive novely book! It's time to help at the park! Can you help little zebra to put on her sun hat? Or wipe little monkey's sticky fingers? Use the bright felt flaps to help the animals as they enjoy their day at the park. Created by award-winning author-illustrator Sam Lloyd.

'WOW! So full of suspense. The ending was a shocker!' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Reader Review 'Propulsive, sinister, gripping' - ALEX MICHAELIDES, international bestselling author of The Silent Patient 'One thing I've learned, these last few weeks, is that small acts of kindness are far less effective than fear...' Meet Mercy Lake. She likes to fix things: broken toys, old appliances. People. She watches them in the dead of night, identifies what their lives are lacking and gives it to them . . . quietly. So quietly, they don't even know she exists. Then Mercy meets Louis. He believes some of these people deserve punishment, not help. Joining up with him to dispense a little harmless justice feels good - at first. But when people start getting hurt, Mercy must decide if the ends can ever justify their increasingly violent means. And soon, their interventions draw the attention of the very person Mercy embraced her nocturnal existence to evade. Someone who will go to extreme lengths to make her pay for knowing their secret . . . The People Watcher is a shiver-inducing, heart-pounding suspense that will keep you up into the early hours - perfect for fans of Stephen King, Alex Michaelides and Catherine Ryan Howard. ******** Readers can't put down The People Watcher!
