Who's that woman in the window?
Dr. Anna Fox has spent the past 10 months inside her NY home. Her home is her safe place and she is too afraid to venture outside her door.
She entertains herself daily with the following activities:
-downing bottles of Merlot and popping pills prescribed by her physician
-following the lives of her neighbors through the lens of her camera
-playing online chess
-watching black and white films from her large collection of DVDs/mostly Hitchcock with some themes that may later be back to haunt her
-talks on the phone to her ex-husband and her daughter (who he has custody of)
This is all fine and dandy until one day while "getting to know" her new neighbors through her lens, she sees something harrowing!
So very clever!! Yet all the clues are set out if you can "catch" them!
Beware that the beginning is a bit confusing and takes awhile to set things in motion, but even with that I couldn't pull myself away from the story.
Very fast read for me! Not edge of your seat, but more like the pull of a magnet. Loved this one!
Super time reading this one with Traveling sisters!
Thanks to Edelweiss/Wm. Morrow for my arc.

Wonderful review, Holly! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
A great review Holly; I like the sound of this one!!
Super review, Holly. Glad you liked this one more than I did.
"Magnetic" reads are awesome! - and so was your review, Holly! :)
Terrific review Holly!!! 😊💕
I echo Jaline's sentiments, Holly. I predict your review will attract many to this novel. Well done!
I loved your review, Holls! I read something with a slightly similar storyline, Don't Close Your Eyes, by Holly Seddon. It was similar in that there was a shut-in character who spied on all the neighbors and saw something bad happen, but it wasn't the central crux of the story. I enjoyed that part of it and think I would like this one, too.
Great review Holly! Glad you enjoyed this one too!!
Great review Holly! Even though I did enjoy this one as much as you... I had fun reading with you!!
