About this ebook

“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.

I want my money back. This book does not start to get remotely interesting until Chapter 40. It takes this author forever to build a plot, and when one finally gets where the story is going, in my opinion, it isn't anything that readers that appreciate this kind of genre haven't read before. Completely unoriginal, bland, and insipid. I honestly cannot believe this book got such rave reviews. In my opinion, if you liked the movie Rear Window, you may find this book to your liking...same kind of plot onl

Definitely a slow start but a good read nonetheless. I liked that I was not able to predict the exact ending before it actually ended. There were elements that I had definitely figured out quite early on but it didn't really have an effect on my overall response to the outcome. I recommend this book.

This was a great thriller. It had many twists and turns. I really liked how it seemed like Anna, the main character, was lying to us for most of the book and when the truth came out it really shocked me. Although, I did not enjoy the overtelling about old movies and I feel like some things could've had more backstory.
