    About this ebook

    In two days time, the state of Connecticut is to take the life of teenager, Ronald Thompson - found guilty of the murder of Nina Peterson two years before. His death will not stop the pain and anger of Nina's husband, Steve, nor will it still the fears of Nina's six-year-old son, Neil, who witnessed his mother's brutal slaying. Only time, perhaps, can heal their wounds.

    But Ronald Thompson knows he did not kill Nina. And in the shadows a stranger waits and watches, a stranger who knows why Nina died, and who has unfinished business with the Peterson family…

    • 4/5
      Classic MHC. A teenager wrongly convicted of a woman's murder, waiting on death row for his execution in a few days. A grieving widower and son, seeking closure and healing. A psychotic killer who has never been traced to five unsolved murders. Well-written, entertaining, nail-biting.
    • 4/5
      Though this book does lend itself to continuation of debate on the use of the Death Penalty. Reading the novel makes you feel as if you are sitting on the edge of your seat. The entire book takes place in two days, and are the pace never slackens. You are given the opportunity to see the killers perspective as well as that of the victims.You will be keeping track of the minutes as you read this book.
    • 2/5
      Listened to the NLS Talking Book version. Typical action/adventure. Ending was a ridiculously unrealistic another-moment-and-they'd-all-be-dead scenario.

      A Stranger is Watching
      I have to admit that this is the first book I have ever read a book by this famous author. I love mysteries so I don't know how I have missed such a classic writer. I am only reading it because it was left in a holiday apartment I am renting.
      I could not put this book down. It is fast paced, you feel empathy for all the characters as Clark, brings them all to life with their tales from the past and heart wrenching stories. I could visualise Grand Central Station, from the graphic details. Clark is now on my radar and I look forward to reading more of her books.
    • 5/5
      A thriller novel best suited for people under stress. The author herself seems to be the Queen of mystery.
