Summary and Study Guide

Overview

I Am Watching You (2017) by Teresa Driscoll is a psychological thriller that explores the consequences of a single moment on multiple lives. The story opens with Ella Longfield overhearing two men flirting with two 16-year-old girls on a train. After learning that the men have just been released from prison, Ella's unease grows, but she decides against reporting the men—a decision she regrets when she learns the next day that one of the girls, Anna Ballard, has disappeared. Ella finally reports herself as a witness, but that action too opens a new set of troubles for her. One year after Ella’s report, Anna is still missing and the police have few leads. A series of events spark a renewed interest in the case, and suspicion begins to loom that Anna’s kidnapper may be hiding far closer to home than anyone assumed.

Told from multiple perspectives, including Ella's, the friend's father, and the private investigator, the novel weaves a tense narrative of mystery and suspense while examining important themes such as The Unintended Consequences of Everyday Decisions, The Psychological Impact of Guilt and Inaction, and blurred text
