What a frustrating book! I listened to The Woman in the Window on audio book and while the narrator was fantastic I would find myself yelling at my stereo.

The story goes a woman, formerly a child psychologist, is now an agoraphobe after at first unknown really bad incident involving her husband and small child who know n0-longer are with her in the her NYC mansion. Being stuck in the house has turned Anna into a voyeur, and her spying gets her caught up in a scary, violent situation with her neighbors across the way. You can't trust anyone, huh?

I lost count of the number of bottles of Merlot (always Merlot, never "red wine" or any other variety) our main character, Dr. Anna Fox, corked throughout the story. I grew tired of Anna almost immediately and I've realized I'm pretty over the unreliable, screwed-up, alcohol/pill addicted, female character trope. Sorry book, there are just too many of you out there. A movie adaptation is apparently in the works and I guess I would watch it.

Also, I was pleased with myself, and also annoyed, at how well I was able to predict many of the plot twists and turns. I can thankfully say there are absolutely no supernatural elements that pop out of nowhere though! I'm looking at you Behind Her Eyes!

And it is so highly amusing to me that if Anna had just let her agoraphobia rule the day, the entire plot of the book would never have happened. So, moral of the story kids, just stay inside.
