Elena Vale knows what her street is supposed to look like.Orderly lawns. Warm windows. Private school schedules. Polite neighbors. The kind of upscale neighborhood where nothing openly bad is ever supposed to happen.Then she starts seeing the same dark sedan parked near her house. Her side gate turns up unlatched. A stranger makes a comment that knows too much. None of it is enough to prove. All of it is enough to feel watched.Recently widowed and trying to hold life together for her daughter, Elena tells herself she is overreacting. Until the pattern tightens. The car is not random. The attention is not harmless. And whatever is circling her home may already know her routine better than she does.Set on a polished quiet street where appearances matter more than truth, The Watch Across the Street is a domestic psychological thriller about surveillance, grief, motherhood, and the moment private fear becomes real.
