von Alyssa Cole

Format:Softcover

An instant NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY BESTSELLER!“If Rear Window and Get Out got married and had a baby that was a book, it would indeed be When No One Is Watching, which takes place in contemporary Brooklyn and combines a page-turning thriller with shrewd social commentary on race, gentrification and greed.”— Seattle TimesSydney 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?

I like the choice of topic the author picked. Her writing is very simple and sometimes the sentences didn’t make sense to me. There was no tension and it didn’t seem like a thriller. The end was fast paced and sounded like an action movie.

Janelle EdwardsRezension von Janelle Edwards

When No One is Watching is an amazing thriller! I have burnt out on thrillers lately as most have the same type of plot but Alyssa Cole brought a new twist to the genre. Thr first quarter of the book was a little slow me as the bsckground is set and wasn't sure why this was classified as a thriller but then the author plot twist comes along. This was definitely a page turner once the pace picks up and I highly recommend this book. This will be a top thriller for the year you don't want to miss. Thank you to William Morrow and NetGallwy for the advanced copy for my honest review.
