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?

โ€˜As tender as it is terrifyingโ€™ Abigail Dean
'Absolutely, breathtakingly superb' Sophie Hannah

โ€˜You wonโ€™t be able to look awayโ€™ 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, itโ€™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 quicklyโ€™ A masterclass in tension and terror, itโ€™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 Youโ€™ll want to gulp it down in one sitting, if youโ€™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, Sierraโ€™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 canโ€™t-put-downโ€™ An extraordinary book with a unique voice which caught me from the first line Among the best debuts Iโ€™ve read in years Tremendous, terrifying Expand reviews
