We Are Watching, Alison GaylinRead about the other entries on the list at CrimeReads.
Alison Gaylin has long been one of my favorite writers, and We Are Watching is the best so far. When an aging rock star goes viral on a streaming platform, he knows the soaring numbers stem not from the song’s popularity, but from a growing conspiracy theory with the song at its center. Gaylin’s heroine, owner of a family-oriented bookstore in a small town in upstate New York, at first dismisses her rockstar father’s warnings—until she finds herself targeted by a terrifying cult, one whose members believe she and her father made a world-ending pact with the devil. Now, they’re after her entire family, convinced they must be murdered on camera in order to prevent a Satanic apocalypse. I stayed up the entire night racing to the conclusion, then lying awake haunted by my own thoughts.
