I love love love this book!! A number of twists that I did not see coming! I can’t talk too much about it, as I don’t want to give anything away, but as far as suspense thrillers go, this is one of my top 5!
A. J. Finn certainly manages to create a gripping tale. The main character, Anna, is rather frustrating, as she is an alcoholic and you often just want to scream at her to not have a glass of wine. However it is an enjoyable journey to have a glimpse of her life – where she has agoraphobia and has not left her home in 10 months. You see how she fills her days, playing on line chess, providing support to other agoraphobics on a chat room, watching black and white movies, watching her neighbours and drinking wine.
The story begins to unfold as she sees something in the window of one of her neighbours’ home. This leads her to trying to uncover what has occurred and delving into the truth. We are introduced to a number of characters along the way, those that play important roles in the life of Anna. We also participate in the challenges that Anna faces in uncovering the truth.
The book has you second guessing yourself and trying to work out what exactly is going on.
A fabulous suspense mystery that has you wanting to read more and more in an attempt to discover the truth. I give this book 5 stars, despite the annoying alcoholism of Anna and a slightly unrealistic cop duo.
