The Woman in the Window

A. J. Finn

"The Woman in the Window is the most riveting thriller I’ve read since Gone Girl. A. J. Finn is a bold new talent with the touch of a master."— New York Times Bestselling Author Tess Gerritsen "The Woman in the Window is a tour de force. A twisting, twisted odyssey inside one woman’s mind, her illusions, delusions, reality. It left my own mind reeling and my heart pounding. An absolutely gripping thriller."—#1 New York Times Bestselling Author Louise Penny For readers of Gillian Flynn and Tana French comes one of the decade’s most anticipated debuts, to be published in thirty-five languages around the world and already in development as a major film from Fox: a twisty, powerful Hithcockian thriller about an agoraphobic woman who believes she witnessed a crime in a neighboring house. It isn’t paranoia if it’s really happening . . . Anna Fox lives alone?a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times . . . and spying on her neighbors. Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, mother, their teenaged son. The perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn’t, her world begins to crumble?and its shocking secrets are laid bare. What is real? What is imagined? Who is in danger? Who is in control? In this diabolically gripping thriller, no one—and nothing—is what it seems. Twisty and powerful, ingenious, and moving, The Woman in the Window is a smart, sophisticated novel of psychological suspense that recalls the best of Hitchcock.

Soon to be a major film starring Amy Adams, Julianne Moore and Gary Oldman. It's been ten months since Anna last left her home. Her lifeline to the real world is her window, where she sits all day watching her neighbours. When the Russells move in, Anna is instantly drawn to them. But one evening, a frenzied scream rips across the silence.

Thinly written, and intended for the screen (large or small), this novel will win no plaudits for its deep characterization, crisp dialogue, or rich prose.  That it was also likely plagiarized doesn’t help, especially when that offense relates directly to the book’s plot, its only selling point.

This book kept me guessing every twist and turn, amazing read for anyone who likes to bring out their inner detective and speculate away! Might take a while to get into, but will have you flicking the pages near the end. Best mystery I’ve read in a while.

Everybody I know had read this book and thought it was mind-blowing, so I was super excited to pick it up. I got it from my electronic library after having it on hold for months. I blew through it pretty quickly, which makes me happy every time. There were quite a few elements that took me completely by surprise which is what a good psychological thriller needs. Color me impressed!

I put the book on hold before I read about the author exposé, so I was a little wary of reading this book. No worries though because maybe a sociopath can write about what he knows. And it was a very fun and readable mystery. 3.5 stars.
