The Woman in the Window: A Novel

The first few pages were intriguing, then it slowed down—but somehow still kept me wondering. And then, suddenly, it was what is going on?!—in the best way possible. Not everything seen through the window is as it seems… A chilling mystery full of suspense, paranoia, and shocking twists. 🤯

Well, this was definitely a wildly entertaining ride...up until the end. If you are an M. Night Shyamalan fan, you know exactly what I'm talking about. There's a concept and a plot that grabs you and keeps you moving forward, only to give you an ending that is terribly disappointing.

Definitely kept my interest. A real page turner - I read it in one day (unusual for me). I guessed the ending before the climax but it was still a good read.

Brilliant

Five stars for the beginning of the book, where we meet Anna Fox and discover she is housebound because of a sudden agoraphobia after a traumatic incident almost a year earlier. She keeps herself entertained by watching old black & white movies and spying on her neighbors. We gradually learn more details about her life and her condition. Then we realize she may not be a reliable narrator. Should we trust what she says?
I was so caught up in her story in the beginning and the suspense of what would happen next, or what happened next in the story of her past that led her to this current state, that I just did not want to put the book down!
Aaaaaaand then it went off the rails... Yes, on a crazy train! Too bad.
(Now it'll be a movie that will probably REALLY make a farce out of it, a la Gone Girl.)
