The Watcher in The Shadows by Carlos Ruiz Zafon 262 pages
Irene’s family has moved to a new town following the death
of her father. Nearly a year after his
death it seems their fortune has changed.
Her mother was offered a good position and it seems that she and her
brother, Dorian, will be able to go back to school instead of looking for work
to help support the family. Once they
arrive however, Irene becomes involved with Ismael, a young fisherman. When his cousin, Hannah, is found murdered,
Irene begins to wonder if there is any truth to the ghost stories she has heard
in the village and whether her family might also be in danger. This book didn’t hold my attention very
well. Despite the supernatural mystery
going on, I didn’t find it that scary and my mind kept wandering while I was
reading. A teen reader might like it
better than I did, but I probably won’t be recommending it very strongly to
anyone.
