Dr. Anna Fox, a psychologist, suffers from severe
agoraphobia and spends her days and nights in her house
with little to no human contact aside from her husband
and daughter; her other hobbies include her wine,
numerous pills and drugs and old horror movies as well as
her computer where she plays chess and advises other
patients about what to do when they find out about their
Agoraphobia diagnosis. However, when new neighbors with a
teenage son move in, Anna finds her world upended and
everything she knows and sees is about to come under
questioning in a nonstop discovery for the ultimate truth
of what's real or what's in her head.
Very often when the words "rollercoaster ride" are
overused, but in this case, that's what the reader finds
himself on, a non-stop rollercoaster ride that will try
any sane person in differentiating what is the truth and
what is the lie. A.J Finn is talented at orchestrating
the ride, never letting the reader get too comfortable,
and oftentimes I found myself pleading for sanity after
the THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW takes unexpected turns. I
also found myself going back and re-reading numerous
sections to try to figure out what is going on and if the
story went in the way I thought it would.
For people who love thrillers and want to take a
thrilling ride that provides an adrenaline high but
without the danger of actual stunts should really run
into the bookstore to pick up THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW for
non-stop thrills, exploration of sanity and questions
that are too frightening to ask.
Anna Fox lives alone—a recluse in her New York City home,
unable to venture outside. She spends her days 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, a mother, their teenage 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—an unforgettable
thriller that Gillian Flynn calls “amazing.”
