Spoiler-free review! (Yes, some of the reviews of this are terrible - so many spoilers.)
A lot of hype, a *little* disappointing.
It was a good read, but I spotted some of the key spoilers way before they happened and it didn't have the psychological suspense or real thrill of some other books I've read lately.
It was good though - don't get me wrong. An enjoyable 4 star read. Just not as great as some of the hype makes out. Often the case eh? ...more

My eyes hurt from rolling so hard every so often. This book is god awful and it pissed the shit out of me. I hate the writing, the portrayal of the narrator, Anna. Why do female protagonists have to be alcoholic? I am seeing a pattern in the last few books I've read in this genre. It's getting old and tedious.

This is a psychological thriller about what Dr Anna Fox saw through the zoom lens of her camera.. An agoraphobic who hasn't left the house since the night of a dreadful incident some time before. Of course nobody believes her and she decides to solve the mystery herself. It is lengthy and could be less so. There are times when i felt drowned in unnecessary narrative but overall it had enough to keep me going to the end and the twist reveal was well done

I normally don’t rate thrillers with 5 stars, but this one gripped me right from the start and I had to finish it in one day! I thought I had it all figured out, but I was wrong! So good!
I didn't want to like this book and I don't know why I did.. But I did. Read it in two days.
