Brought to you by Penguin.

There was someone in the house.

Home alone with her young children during a blizzard, a mother tucks her son back into bed in the middle of the night. Then she hears a noise - old houses are always making some kind of noise. But this sound is disturbingly familiar: it's the tread of footsteps, unusually heavy and slow, coming up the stairs...

In that split second, she has three choices.

Should she hide? Should she run? Or should she fight?

‘As tender as it is terrifying’ Abigail Dean
'Absolutely, breathtakingly superb' Sophie Hannah

‘You won’t be able to look away’ Shari Lapena

Reviews

One of the most terrifying - and brilliant - thrillers I have ever read I barely breathed while reading this incredibly tense, chilling thriller A chilling tale you may want to read during daylight hours Almost unbearably tense, suffused with fear without ever exploiting it Absolutely, breathtakingly superb . . . delivers the highest possible grip factor from first word to last, and a more satisfying resolution than I dared to hope for Nightwatching is acutely frightening and beautifully written, as tender as it is terrifying. I can't remember rooting for a character quite so hard Nightmarish . . . You won't be able to look away Heart-thumping and mesmerizing, a masterclass in tension and terror, it’s also a creative, thoughtful portrait of maternal fear and love. A must read One of the most haunting, gripping novels I've read in a long time Triumphs in a gripping and convincing finale Hold-your-breath suspense Very few books are as sharp, clever and utterly terrifying as Nightwatching. Read at your own risk I am trying to think of a book that has grabbed me by the throat more quickly’ A masterclass in tension and terror, it’s also a creative, thoughtful portrait of maternal fear and love Acutely frightening and beautifully written . . . I can't remember rooting for a character quite so hard A scalpel-sharp thriller Eerily atmospheric, pulse-pounding and unputdownable I had no idea that a story could be both so beautifully written and so unbelievably terrifying A terrifying descent into my deepest maternal fears . . . One of the most haunting, gripping novels I've read You’ll want to gulp it down in one sitting, if you’re not too scared to turn the page! Everyone should read this book! Fiercely feminist and viscerally terrifying As grippingly suspenseful as the plot is, Sierra’s first outing boasts other strengths just as noteworthy, from its transportingly eerie setting to its indelible main character So tense, so thought-provoking. I felt my heart rate rising as I read it . . . The definition of can’t-put-down’ An extraordinary book with a unique voice which caught me from the first line Among the best debuts I’ve read in years Tremendous, terrifying Expand reviews
