My Rating: 1.5
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. When a family moves in across the way and Anna looks out the window one night to see the unfolding of a horrific scene...things unfold from there.
I am in the minority but I found this book a boring struggle to get through. The protagonist is an unreliable drugging alcoholic with a plot that is based on various old thriller movies. I have no idea how this is deserving of the high ratings. I felt that this was over-hyped and a mishmash of old thriller movies.
