Dr. Anna Fox has agoraphobia. She cannot leave her house. She has been stuck this way for 10 months due to PTSD. Anna is a child psychologist, but so far has been unable to help herself. Anna's world consists of watching her neighbors lives play out through her windows. Mixing pills and alcohol Anna becomes even more muddled. When she sees a murder across the way nobody believes her. How can Anna prove that she is not just a drunk who is hallucinating?
The Woman in the Window kind of plodded along. Was fairly predictable, but there were some twists that would give the reader a surprise. I got frustrated with Anna because of her dependence on alcohol, but then I've never been in her position so who's to say I wouldn't fall prey to the same thing? As a mystery, it took a long time to get to that. I felt like the majority of the story was backstory leading up to the actual mystery. The ending was super-exciting and redeemed the book for me.
This book is part of my challenge to read through all of the mysteries listed in a puzzle that I did a few years ago:
I'm slowly working through them! They are all in my TBR jar:
