The Woman in the Window

Anna Fox, a child psychologist, hasn't left her New York townhouse in nearly a year. Housebound by crippling agoraphobia, she passes her days drinking too much wine, mixing it with her medication, watching old black-and-white thrillers, and spying on her neighbors through a camera lens.

Then a new family moves in across the way, and one night Anna sees something through her window that she was never meant to see. What she thinks she witnessed — and whether anyone will believe a heavily medicated, hard-drinking recluse — becomes the center of a spiraling mystery in which nothing, including Anna's own memory, can be trusted.

A.J. Finn's twisty bestselling debut is a claustrophobic, cinematic homage to classic Hitchcockian suspense.
