Alecia's Reviews > The Woman in the Window

** spoiler alert ** I am giving 4 stars for the sheer enjoyment and readability of this book. I zipped right through it, and it was kind of an addictive read. The author, who is a man, writes very well in the female voice of the agoraphobic narrator. It drew me in, and I was avidly looking forward to where the twists would come...and come they did. I suspected one right off the bat, but a few took me by surprise. I have an issue with the melodramatic ending, and a few other issues. All that thunder and lightning felt like a backdrop for a grade B horror movie. (view spoiler)[And I had a bit of a difficult time believing that this experienced child psychologist would not recognize someone fooling her with such glaring issues. But taking all the merlot and pills she was imbibing into consideration, I guess it was possible. I also found it a little hard to believe that she'd "squeal" on her tenant having been in prison to the police. But, I guess this character was desperate to find out the truth and tired of being accused of imagining everything. (hide spoiler)]

But these issues notwithstanding, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Very engaging and fun to read.
