Overview

The #1 Instant New York Times Bestseller - Soon to be a Major Motion Picture

"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, published in forty-one languages around the world and 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.

  • Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock

    Jill W. - 9 months ago

    I love mysteries and this book has such an interesting premise: after a catastrophic event, a woman is unable to leave her home. She sees something that she shouldnt and it causes her to spiral downwards. The author is able to illustrate the fears and obsessions of a woman who is trapped in her own house so well, that I immediately felt like I knew this person. There was a point in this book when I literally gasped out loud the author was so successful in pulling the wool over my eyes. I loved this novel!

  • Gripping, with a twist

    Cortney M. - 1 year 10 months ago

    One, two, three, four. A phrase that becomes very familiar to Anna Fox, a writer, and recluse. After a tragic accident she finds herself no longer able to face the outside world. She spends her days drinking, playing chess, watching her neighbors and talking to online friends on a forum for people like herself, agoraphobics. That is, until her new neighbors, The Russells, move in. The Woman in the Window keeps you engaged until the very end, and makes you feel connected to the characters. Just when you think you have everything figured out, A.J. Finn flips the script. You'll find yourself smiling, laughing and also may have to pick your jaw up from the floor. It's an absolute page turner that will have you hooked.

  • Best keep the blinds drawn

    Mallory B. - 3 years 2 months ago

    The Woman in the Window takes you on a suspenseful journey that has you questioning the motives of all characters involved. I couldn't put this book down, let alone read it fast enough. If you enjoyed Girl on the Train, or Little Fires Everywhere, sit tight, draw the blinds, and enjoy The Woman in the Window.

  • A suspenseful tale featuring an agoraphobic protagonist

    Samantha W. - 3 years 9 months ago

    I found myself halfway done with this book a day after I picked it up. Finn's novel reminded me a lot of Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window," but it portrayed a female protagonist who was deeply flawed, terrified, and carried a sometimes funny and relatable narration of someone experiencing trauma. I loved every nail-biting sentence of it.

  • Better than the new Netflix movie!

    Hannah P. - 6 years 6 months ago

    Woman in the Widow focuses on an agoraphobic who is separated from her family due to her illness. When she witnesses a murder next door, the agoraphobe is thrown into a world of deceit, romance, and a neighborhood of lies. As one plot twist reveals itself after another, The Woman in the Window will keep you guessing until the very end.
