The Woman in the Window - A.J.Finn - Book Review

The Woman in the Window - A.J.Finn - Book Review


The Woman in the Window - An agoraphobic woman living alone in New York begins spying on her new neighbors only to witness a disturbing act of violence.

Hello, my friends! Thanks for coming! Today I am going to talk about a book called The Woman in the Window!

This book is a psychological thriller starring agoraphobic Dr. Anna Fox.


The Woman in the Window: A Novel

For the past 10 months, Anna has been trapped inside the four walls she calls home. She can’t bring herself to take a single step outside. No grocery shopping, no walks through the park, not even to pick a package from the front stoop.

I was curious to see how this story would develop. The character development of Anna and the provided characters becomes ever more intriguing. Everything is portrayed at precisely the right time. Why is Anna agoraphobic?  Who are all these people around her? This book is intoxicating and dark. She has theories and pseudo-storylines for her neighbors, each one being unique and different in their own way. When she is not photographing and spying on her neighbors, Anna watches famous black and white movies to pass the time and regularly checks in with her daughter and husband, who she recently has separated from. When her new neighbors move in across the park from her house, Anna is intrigued by their anonymity. As she begins to investigate the story of her new neighbors, something horribly goes wrong. Anna witnesses something that shouldn't have happened.

When she witnesses an attack in the home across the street, no one will believe her. Not the homeowners, not even the police!

Anna begins to question if it’s a side effect of her medication, or is there a reason no one wants to believe her. This type of psychological thriller really gets you in the mindset of Anna's psyche without throwing everything at you at once. Some of the twists were predictable - but that didn’t take away from my enjoyment. The big finale of a twist was absolutely perfect!

 It is slow-paced to start, but not at all dragging and still enjoyable.
