About this listen

 In this eerie thriller, a late night radio host receives a disturbing call that triggers a memory of her childhood escape from a serial killer—and the fear that he's come back to finish what he started.

"Chilling and atmospheric." —Jeneva Rose, New York Times bestselling author of The Perfect Divorce

Nola Strate is being watched, again.

After an encounter with a notorious serial killer in the Pacific Northwest as a child, Nola has grown up and tried her best to forget her traumatizing night with the Hiding Man. She installed security cameras outside her Oregon home, never spoke of her experience, and now hosts Night Watch, a popular radio call-in show her semi-famous father used to run.

When coincidences lead Nola to believe that she is being stalked, and a caller on Night Watch has a live incident with an intruder in the caller's home—the description of whom is chillingly familiar—Nola is convinced that the killer has resurfaced and is coming for her.

With a mysterious next door neighbor lurking in the shadows, more people getting hurt, the police not taking her concerns seriously, and evidence pointing toward her own father, Nola decides to become, like her listeners, a Night Watcher herself, and uncover the monster behind the Hiding Man's mask.

I only listen to crime fiction and really like serial killer ones and this is maybe the creepiest I’ve heard. It isn’t the best, the characters do odd things and I’m sure you can dissect it if you’re inclined to do so.

But in terms of having a creepy killer, doing creepy stuff, this is a 10/10z

This has so much potential.. I wished it had been bit more scary or suspenseful. It was okay, but I had higher expectations

I would've liked little more suspense
