Description
A searing literary noir set in upstate New York about what it means to live on the margins of society—and what happens when no one is watching?
Pearl Jenkins is a nobody. She was a woman who lived as a hermit in the woods. One day, she’s nowhere to be found, and all that's left behind is a pool of blood and a child no one knew existed, raised completely off the grid and in the grip of Pearl’s manic paranoia.
Kateri Fisher is used to being an outsider. Now, she’s the only female detective in the tiny upstate New York town of Spring Falls, where everyone knows everyone, but no one will talk. It’s fitting that she takes the case that no one else wants. But as Kateri struggles to navigate the harsh rules of a new town while trying to learn the truth about the Jenkins family, only one thing becomes clear: neither she nor Pearl are as invisible as she first thought. Someone's always watching.
Advance Praise
"Pashley's seamless, yet meticulous writing pulls the reader into the bleak world of rural upstate New York, but also into the heart and mind of her female protagonist—a character who could easily fill the pages of many novels to come. Atmospheric and dark, yet emotionally compelling, The Watcher is simply phenomenal on all counts. Jennifer Pashley is nothing short of a rising star."
—Wendy Walker, bestselling author of All is Not Forgotten and Emma in the Night

5 stars! Absolutely spooky! Kateri fisher is a strong female character that I think most woman will root for. I loved seeing her be able to handle herself on a force as the only woman officer.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started this book, but one chapter in and I couldn’t put it down. Kateri Fisher is a small town cop still considered new to town. When she is handed the assignment of a bloody house, missing girl, and burning bones, she is right in her element. I couldn’t have guessed all the different ways this book would go. Loved it!
Lisa C, Reviewer
The Watcher was an entertaining book I would recommend to others. It was written from two different perspectives, a young boy, and a detective. The back and fourth told a story that went from the past (a few montshs ago) to present. Each chapter kept me on the edge of my seat wondering how things all fell together. It was the type of book where I didn't have enough clues to put things together until halfway through the book and still my guesses would never have guessed all that happened. It was a good read and has interested me into looking into other books of hers.
