“Absolutely gripping.” —Louise Penny
For readers of Gillian Flynn and Tana French comes one of the decade’s most anticipated debuts, to be published in thirty-six languages around the world and already in development as a major film from Fox: a twisty, powerful Hitchcockian thriller about an agoraphobic woman who believes she witnessed a crime in a neighboring house.
It isn’t paranoia if it’s really happening . . .
Anna Fox lives alone—a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times . . . and spying on her neighbors.
Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, a mother, their teenage son. The perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn’t, her world begins to crumble—and its shocking secrets are laid bare.
What is real? What is imagined? Who is in danger? Who is in control? In this diabolically gripping thriller, no one—and nothing—is what it seems.
Twisty and powerful, ingenious and moving, The Woman in the Window is a smart, sophisticated novel of psychological suspense that recalls the best of Hitchcock.

I received this book as a gift and read through so quickly! What a page turner! The characters are built up well and every time you think you know what’s going on, BOOM! There’s a twist and it leaves you asking what just happened! (In a good way of course.) I found I had to pick my jaw up off the floor a number of times. Read this book… you’ll LOVE it!!!
It was a good book , with a great ending. I felt it dragged a little but the storyline was great!it was a page turner.
This is a great book with wonderful characters and full of plot twists. Can not wait for the movie. This ones a definite must read!
This book reminded me of the Hitchcock movie Rear Window.
The book was overall well written and had great characters with a twisting story line. Unfortunately, it is pretty much another interpretation of Cornell Woolrich’s “It Had to Be Murder” (later made into the Alfred Hitchcock movie “The Rear Window”). If the idea were more original, it would have earned more stars, but I couldn’t get past the similarities.
The Woman in the Window blew my mind. I was on vacation in California enjoy the sites with my family whom I hadn’t seen since my move away and it was so hard tearing myself away from the book. So well done and as a Hitchcock fan…it was a fave.
Kept me wondering until the end.
One of the best books I have ever read! Can’t wait for more!!
Get swept away.
Couldn’t put the book down. Loved the suspense.
Just finished reading this book. I liked this book and didn’t see the twists in it at all. This book kept me turning the pages. Seeing what the character was going to think and do next. Highly recommend this book. I would reread this book again.
About book-
Anna is a woman who doesn’t leave her house.
Due to Anna suffers from agoraphobia. And we really don’t find out why until later on in the story. Which threw me really off. In a good way. Anna only way to the outside is through her camera. So she spies on her neighbors. Well yes Anna drinks and mixes her meds. There is something deeper wrong with this woman. Highly recommend this book again.
An agoraphobic woman witnesses a murder across the street. Lots of twists and turns.
Poor Anna. I feel sorry for her through most of this book. It did seem to drag on and on at times. Some of the twists were pretty obvious and some were not. It was an entertaining read.
Like the twista
Wonderful read with good character development. Many different twists and turns in the plot, with the final twist only near the end. The psychology behind this story is excellent and allows us the sympathy to feel for the main character, Anna Fox. We humans are frail indeed and often we need the help of fantasy to get through our lives.
Not my cup of tea
Keeps one guessing clear to the end
Excellent use of the unreliable narrator.
4.5 stars
The woman in the window is a gripping story that kept me glued to my seat until the last page.
It’s a heartbreaking story, one that makes you more aware that mental health is very important and we never know who has to deal with it or how they are coping with because it’s very often misunderstood or mistaken with other qualities or flaws that one person has.
I can’t recommend this book enough from the great writing to the characters that are so reliable and the story overall it’s just so powerful.
I loved this book, one of the best.
I couldn’t put it down.
Highly recommended
This book is a true page turner in the old-fashioned sense of the word. In many ways the book pays homage to Alfred Hitchcock’s rear window, lifting much of the plot points from that classic. The narrator, a woman psychiatrist in treatment for severe trauma, is fairly unreliable and isolated by agoraphobia and PTSD. While I saw the ending coming the writer masterfully used the standard tropes and techniques to pull together a fast-moving and engaging tale of terror.
