What to expect

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

Critics Review

Very few books are as sharp, clever and utterly terrifying as Nightwatching. Read at your own risk
CHRIS WHITAKER
I am trying to think of a book that has grabbed me by the throat more quickly’
LINWOOD BARCLAY
A masterclass in tension and terror, it’s also a creative, thoughtful portrait of maternal fear and love
ASHLEY AUDRAIN
Acutely frightening and beautifully written . . . I can't remember rooting for a character quite so hard
ABIGAIL DEAN
A scalpel-sharp thriller
NIKKI SMITH
Eerily atmospheric, pulse-pounding and unputdownable
SARAH PEKKANEN
I had no idea that a story could be both so beautifully written and so unbelievably terrifying
ALAFAIR BURKE
A terrifying descent into my deepest maternal fears . . . One of the most haunting, gripping novels I've read
KATIE GUTIERREZ
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!
LAUREN NORTH
Fiercely feminist and viscerally terrifying
