*** ADAPTED AS A SIX-PART TV SERIES BY STAN CALLED WATCHING YOU ***
Ever get the feeling that you're being watched?
Newlyweds Lina and Cain don't make it out to their vacation home on gorgeous Lake Tarawera as often as they'd like, so when Cain suggests they rent the property out on weekends, Lina reluctantly agrees. While the home has been special to her family for generations, their neighbours are already renting our their properties, and to be honest, she and Cain could use the extra money. What could go wrong?
At first, Lina is amazed at how quickly guests line up - and at how much they're willing to pay. But both Lina and Cain have been keeping secrets, secrets that won't be kept out by a new alarm system or a locked cupboard. When strange things begin happening on their property, and a visit takes a deadly turn, Lina becomes convinced that someone out there knows something they shouldn't.
And when they come for her, there will be nowhere left to hide.
'J.P. Pomare keeps you guessing all the way through this creepy cyber-nightmare' The Times Crime Club
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
After seven years together, Auckland, New Zealand, paramedic Lina Phillips, the narrator of this chilling psychological thriller from Pomare (In the Clearing), and her husband, Cain, a former SAS commando turned fitness coach, have hit a rough patch. Unbeknownst to Cain, Lina is gambling on a plot to save their marriage that could just end up shattering their lives instead. With the couple seriously cash-strapped, Lina reluctantly agrees—perhaps because of guilt over the toxic secret she's concealing from Cain—to his urging to list their remote Lake Tarawera vacation property, her memory-laden childhood home, on the home-sharing platform WeStay. At first it's easy money. But then she starts getting threatening texts from a stalker who seems able to spy on her in real time during the pair's visits to the house—and the terror skyrockets from there. While some of the twists prove less than convincing, this descent into all-too-plausible cyber voyeurism scenarios should keep readers up at night for more reasons than one. Pomare knows how to keep the pages turning.
