Lock Every Door: A Novel
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“Looking for a suspense novel that will keep you up until way past midnight? Look no further than Lock Every Door, by Riley Sager.”—Stephen King
No visitors. No nights spent away from the apartment. No disturbing the other residents, all of whom are rich or famous or both. These are the only rules for Jules Larsen’s new job as an apartment sitter at the Bartholomew, one of Manhattan's most high-profile and mysterious buildings. Recently heartbroken and just plain broke, Jules is taken in by the splendor of her surroundings and accepts the terms, ready to leave her past life behind.
As she gets to know the residents and staff of the Bartholomew, Jules finds herself drawn to fellow apartment sitter Ingrid, who comfortingly reminds her of the sister she lost eight years ago. When Ingrid confides that the Bartholomew is not what it seems and the dark history hidden beneath its gleaming facade is starting to frighten her, Jules brushes it off as a harmless ghost story...until the next day, when Ingrid disappears.
Searching for the truth about Ingrid’s disappearance, Jules digs deeper into the Bartholomew's sordid past and into the secrets kept within its walls. What she discovers pits Jules against the clock as she races to unmask a killer, expose the building’s hidden past, and escape the Bartholomew before her temporary status becomes permanent.

Excellent - edge of your seat - thriller. You think it could be one thing, then decide it is something else entirely and then again, something completely different. You suspect this person, then that person, then of course it has to be him then her, then no it is her, no it has to be him...
A great read! Definitely one that you will not want to put down.

Jules recently lost her job and she’s dumped her cheating boyfriend who also happens to hold the lease on the apartment she’s been living in. Broke and homeless, Jules starts hunting for a job while staying at her best friend’s. She finds what seems to be an ad that is too good to be true. A glamorous and very secretive apartment building, the Bartholomew, is looking for an apartment sitter for 3 months. The pay is amazing and unbelievable, however there are some strict and strange rules Jules has to follow. When another apartment sitter goes missing, Jules starts to question accepting this job and gets a little scared… will Jules make it out of the Bartholomew?
This was my second Sager novel and I really enjoyed it! I liked this one much better than The House Across the Lake. No paranormal elements. It was really suspenseful and the twist at the end completely shocked me! I was not ready for it all.
Locke Every Door was a great spooky season read! I definitely recommend it.
