"More Twisted than a Roller coaster Ride"

Fresh Fiction Review

The Woman in the Window
A.J. Finn

Reviewed by Svetlana Libenson
Posted February 12, 2019

Thriller Psychological

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.

SUMMARY

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.”
