Booklist Review

*Starred Review* Bailey Carpenter's life isn't perfect, but it's hers. She works as a private investigator, lives in one of Miami's nicest high rises, and has a close relationship with her brother. The cons? Her job's long hours, a pending lawsuit with her extended family, and an ill-advised affair with her married boss. Utterly eclipsing these annoyances, Bailey is brutally raped one evening while staking out a client. On leave from work and terrified to leave her apartment, Bailey hurtles between paranoia, anxiety, and depression. Forced to rebuild her identity, career, and mental health from the ground up, Bailey must face the biggest challenge of her life. Bailey wants to take charge of her pending police investigation and regain control, but her undercover experience proves to be a huge liability. Someone Is Watching is a gripping, fast-paced psychological thriller reminiscent of Rear Window and the works of Lisa Gardner. Fielding has crafted a flawed yet likable heroine in Bailey by allowing her to experience the varied emotions of recovery instead of pigeonholing her as a helpless victim or bloodthirsty vigilante. Not geared to the faint of heart, Fielding's story of one woman's search for justice, understanding, and internal peace is nothing short of arresting.–Turza, Stephanie
