A. J. Finn

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.

The Woman in the Window

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.

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.
