Woman in the Window

This is a Rear Window, Hitchcock type of book. At the beginning you think you've got this all figured out. You think there is no way the author can surprise you. You think I've got this all figured out. But a strange scene here, a strange feeling there, and then BAM. You're wrong - big twist and then you're like okay I've caught my breath the rest of this book will be predictable. And then BAM - WTH I never saw it coming. I never saw the ending coming. I loved that. It was a long book to build up to a climax. I think the author did that on purpose so you would feel comfortable and you would get smug thinking you know what's going on. Amazon writes, "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." All in all, I say: READ IT
