5/5 stars
Anna Fox is an agoraphobic psychologist who drinks too much, watches old films and spies on her neighbors. When I first read the description of this book, I thought it would be a lot like Girl On the Train, but I kept hearing so much about it that I decided to give it a try and I am SO GLAD that I did.
The alcoholic main character observing something surreptitiously is where the similarity to Girl On the Train ends. This book was meaty and intense, the characters were well developed and believable. I didn’t think this book dragged at all. In fact, I found myself thinking about it during the day and couldn’t wait to get into bed to read! There are a lot of twists and turns that I did not see coming. I definitely recommend this book.
