Just completed my 2nd book - The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn. Overall, this was an entertaining, well-paced thriller. I particularly enjoyed the constant old suspense film references. I figured out all of the twists well before they happened, but it didn't stop me from enjoying the read. Worth reading! 4 stars

Hopefully it's not too late to join in! I'd just like to read 5 books this month. I just started a longer one (a little over 1,000 pages) so I won't get a lot read this month.
