Book Review: The Woman in the Window By A.J. Finn

It’s been 10 long months since Anna Fox last left her home; 10 months during which she has haunted the rooms of her old New York house like a ghost, lost in her memories, too terrified to step outside.

Anna’s lifeline to the real world is her window, where she sits day after day, watching her neighbours. When the Russells move in, Anna is instantly drawn to them.

A picture-perfect family of three, they are an echo of the life that was once hers. But one evening, a frenzied scream rips across the silence, and Anna witnesses something no one was supposed to see.

Now she must do everything she can to uncover the truth about what really happened. This elegant and beautifully written thriller is the debut novel from A.J. Finn.

It is a dark and riveting read, full of twists and turns making it utterly compelling and at times heartwrenching.

The suspense will keep your heart in your throat right from the beginning, making it very difficult to put down.
