Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Five-year-old James Merritt lies in a hospital bed--the sixth victim in a series of accidents plaguing a peaceful Connecticut community. 'Maybe if he pretends to be asleep, the shadow man will go away. He sees the glint of the needle. The pain does not alarm him. In his wildest imagining, he has never dreamed death would come in such a tiny, innocent way.' Cinnie Merritt holds her son's limp and weightless hand, trying to explain away the injuries that don't add up, the strange medical reactions, the nonsense words he keeps repeating, the shattering sense of foreboding. Something is wrong. Something is very, very wrong. 'Please let my baby be all right. Please let him wake up and be fine.' At night, a stalking figure makes its silent way into the hospital room.
'You belong to me now, child of my salvation. Wellspring of health and healing. Sweet servant of the dark moon. From the dark corner of a mother's world nightmare . . .Someone's Watching. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

VERY GOOD STORY,
By A Customer
This review is from: Someone's Watching (Paperback)
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS ONE, AND I WOULD GIVE IT A 10, BUT IT HAS A CERTAIN RESEMBLANCE TO MARY HIGGINS CLARK'S BOOK, A STRANGER IS WATCHING. THEY ARE BOTH WELL WORTH READING ON THEIR OWN MERITS AND I RECOMMEND YOU TRY BOTH TITLES.

PULL UP A CHAIR AND READ A WHILE,

This review is from: Someone's Watching (Paperback)
James Merritt, the protagonist of this story is a very bright, appealling child. At 5, he is well versed in musical terminology as his father was a musician. James' parents are divorced and James copes with that issue alongside of starting school "as a big kid." He has his share of obstacles, one of them in the form a very strange peer called "Odd Todd" by other kids. "Odd Todd" comes from a weird household and one quickly learns where the boy's eccentricities originated.James is struck by a reckless driver. However, this was no accident and as James fights for his life in the hospital, the shady issues surrounding his near miss are brought to light. This was truly a good book. I certainly hope James makes another appearance in a Judith Kelman book.

I totally disagree,
By DENISE HURST (Spain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Someone's Watching (Paperback)
I'm amazed at the other reviews! This is the first book I have read by this author - and it doesn't inspire me to dip into other works. Ridiculous story line, full of unbelievable events with unconvincing "hero". 342 pages of silly drivel. A waste of time and money
