Publisher Description
Don’t miss AJ Finn’s eagerly anticipated new thriller, END OF STORY!
“As the plot seizes us, the prose caresses us. . . [Finn] has not only captured, sympathetically, the interior life of a depressed person, but also written a riveting thriller that will keep you guessing to the very last sentence.” — Washington Post
The #1 bestseller that gripped the world, selling millions of copies around the globe – a tour-de-force Hitchcockian 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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
With a story that plays like Hitchcock's Rear Window for the social media age, A. J. Finn's multilayered debut made us shiver and second-guess our impressions over and over. The Woman in the Window is a twisty thriller that’s surprisingly haunting and emotional, thanks in part to narrator Ann Marie Lee's deceptively casual, relatable delivery. (Insider tip: if you're intrigued by Finn's loving descriptions of the classic film noirs that agoraphobic heroine Anna Fox obsessively watches, try the 1944 Fritz Lang gem that the book borrows its name from.)
Customer Reviews
Interesting
I got the audiobook because I was struggling to read it (and because it was on sale when I bought it) and I thought that listening would help. Initially, I didn’t like the narrator’s voice, but once I put her on 1.25x she sounded normal and I realized that she’s actually really good at making the book lively. I like the voices she creates for the characters and her intonations.
Overall, the story itself is really interesting. I couldn’t let go of the “who done it” question and the why. Although a little dry in the middle, the ending for sure hits with a bang!
GREAT BOOK!
Excellent!!! A must read!
Blah
It wasn’t a very interesting book.. had a hard time keeping my attention. It didn’t start getting good until the very end (chap 90/100).
