Publisher Description

#1 New York Times Bestseller – Soon to be a Major Motion Picture starring Amy Adams, Julianne Moore, and Gary Oldman – Available on Netflix on May 14, 2021

“Astounding. Thrilling. Amazing.” —Gillian Flynn

“Unputdownable.” —Stephen King

“A dark, twisty confection.” —Ruth Ware

“Absolutely gripping.” —Louise Penny

For readers of Gillian Flynn and Tana French comes one of the decade’s most anticipated debuts, to be published in thirty-six languages around the world and already in development as a major film from Fox: a twisty, powerful Hitchcockian thriller about an agoraphobic woman who believes she witnessed a crime in a neighboring house.

It isn’t paranoia if it’s really happening . . .

Anna Fox lives alone—a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times . . . and spying on her neighbors.

Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, mother, their teenaged son. The perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn’t, her world begins to crumble?and its shocking secrets are laid bare.

What is real? What is imagined? Who is in danger? Who is in control? In this diabolically gripping thriller, no one—and nothing—is what it seems.

Twisty and powerful, ingenious and moving, The Woman in the Window is a smart, sophisticated novel of psychological suspense that recalls the best of Hitchcock.

BONUS: Includes an interview with author A.J. Finn.

"This story started out a little slow for my taste, and I was even disappointed at one point thinking I had it all figured out... It'll be worth your time to stick it out. This story is full of twists, turns, suspense and surprises. Also, there's an interview with the author at the end that provides insight into the story he created. This was his first novel and it's a good one."

    " Though I enjoyed the recording of this book, I feel that I would have given up on completing it if I had been reading it in print. The narrator's representation of the fear in this story is the only way I kept involved in the story until the end. "

    " The story was incredibly drawn out - to the point of tedium - my opinion. The last three or four chapters (there are 100!) were at a tempo I liked...but I ALMOST gave up on sticking with the book to the end. I learned that this is this authors first novel. Perhaps he will fine-tune and improve the cadence. "
