He sees you. But you don’t see him… Dexter meets Rear Window. A new, edge-of-your-seat standalone thriller from Deborah Masson, award-winning author of the DI Eve Hunter series.

He’s always watching you.

He sees everything. As a CCTV operator, Casey can monitor the streets of Aberdeen and keep people safe, all from the comfort of his chair.

He knows your secrets.

You are one of his favourite people to follow. He keeps an eye on you even in your most private moments, when you think you’re alone.

But now he wants more.

There's a reason he’s learnt your routine like the back of his hand. Casey wants revenge. And when you know as much as he does, it’s easy to take advantage…

About the author

Deborah Masson

Deborah Masson was born and bred in Aberdeen, Scotland. Always restless and fighting against being a responsible adult, she worked in several jobs including secretarial, marketing, reporting for the city's freebie newspaper and a stint as a postie - to name but a few. Through it all, she always read crime fiction and, when motherhood finally settled her into being an adult (maybe even a responsible one) she turned her hand to writing what she loved. Deborah started with short stories and flash fiction whilst her daughter napped and, when she later welcomed her son into the world, she decided to challenge her writing further through online courses with Professional Writing Academy and Faber Academy. Her debut novel, Hold Your Tongue, is the result of those courses.

Utterly compelling - I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. A proper page-turning thriller that showcases Masson at her very best, and Scottish crime fiction in all its glory!

Jonathan Whitelaw

Tense, twisted and visceral - this is an unputdownable gut-punch of a thriller. Jaw-droppingly clever, this incredibly dark story unfolds with an expert touch.

It's not often a book keeps me up all night to finish it, but this book was it. An original idea and a chilling, atmospheric read that will keep you looking over your shoulder for a long time after you've closed it.

I'll Be Watching You is dark and addictive. Masson pays surgical attention to plot and pace, unstitching a seemingly tangled web of flawed characters and secret motives and racing to a heart-wrenching finale.
