Julia has moved her family to Ireland after an incident with her daughter, as her old friend passes away. When at home with her children, her daughter shows her a video that appears to have been filmed in her house. As more videos are posted, Julia hears strange noises in the attic and can't help but wonder if someone is watching her. 
 
I've heard a lot about this story but just found it okay. It seemed a bit slow, and I had trouble staying interested. The author lays out a few plausible suspects but then explains them away. The back-and-forth was frustrating, but I had spent so much time listening that I had to get to the end. The ending was a little disappointing, and I felt it could have been better.
