***Second read***
I read this the first time with audio only and when I got back from my trip I realized I wanted to read it again and joined a buddy reading it for the first time. I would recommend alternating between the book and audio for this or reading and listening bc the audio is really good and the layout on the page is not always typical, so that may be the best way to enjoy the experience.

I enjoy the way this guy writes and even tho he may not be an angel in real life, I'm not too worr ...more

Really great psychological thriller. Went a bit slow at times, but I liked the twists and turns and found the characters compelling, generally-speaking.

Twisty and powerful, ingen ...more

Finally, a book deserving of the "next Gone Girl" or the "next Girl on a Train" hype. This is a well-crafted suspense tale, again with an unreliable narrator, that pays more than a little homage to Hitchcock films.
Anna Fox is a former child psychologist, now held captive in her Harlem brownstone by a debilitating case of agoraphobia. When she is not spending her time on a chat site counseling fellow agoraphobics, or watching old noir movies, she spies on her neighbors through the lens of her ca ...more

Avoid reading this book when you have other things you need to get done, such as sleeping. I was fascinated and couldn’t put it down, stayed up way too late just to find out how it would end. Looking forward to reading more by this author.
