About this listen

"I was knocked over by the momentum of an intense psychological thriller that doesn’t let go until the final page. This is a terrific read." (Alafair Burke, New York Times best-selling author)

Rear Window meets Get Out in this gripping thriller from a critically acclaimed and New York Times Notable author, in which the gentrification of a Brooklyn neighborhood takes on a sinister new meaning....

Sydney Green is Brooklyn born and raised, but her beloved neighborhood seems to change every time she blinks. Condos are sprouting like weeds, FOR SALE signs are popping up overnight, and the neighbors she’s known all her life are disappearing. To hold onto her community’s past and present, Sydney channels her frustration into a walking tour and finds an unlikely and unwanted assistant in one of the new arrivals to the block - her neighbor, Theo.

But Sydney and Theo’s deep dive into history quickly becomes a dizzying descent into paranoia and fear. Their neighbors may not have moved to the suburbs after all, and the push to revitalize the community may be more deadly than advertised.

When does coincidence become conspiracy? Where do people go when gentrification pushes them out? Can Sydney and Theo trust each other - or themselves - long enough to find out before they too disappear?

Best book I’ve read all year

This book was edge of my seat, finished in one sitting! A thriller about the chilling reality of gentrification that everyone should read. Awesome characters, vivid descriptions. I felt like I was in Brooklyn, in the houses, in the streets as I listened. And both of the narrators were fantastic. STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND GET THIS BOOK NOW!

Great listen!

I loved this story. Unique and kept me guessing. It's not hard to imagine this happening. If you have a fragile white ego, I would stay away from this one. You're not going to like being called out. For everyone else, it's a Must Read!

Whew that was a lot!

This story started out difficult to follow. Then it started to home in on the objective. At first I thought the main character was going crazy. But then quickly realized she wasn’t. Truly a nail biter. The ending calmed my nerves but left a lot of questions. Great performance.

Original plot--very timely

As much as I love a good thriller, I have to admit that there is rarely much new under the sun. The usual paradigms and their variations cycle again and again. With decent writing, we readers don't usually mind.

When No One is Watching, however, turns the usual plots into bland leftovers by comparison. Incorporating the all too familiar neighborhood gentrification into the storyline makes it as timely as it is interesting. A worthy read.
