The mystery of what happened to the woman Anna met, and what’s going on in the house across the street, is muddled by Anna’s unreliable narrator syndrome. It’s a common trope in similar thriller-novel adaptations, like Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train. Anna’s unreliable nature comes from a mix of her medication — which is implied to have side effects, including hallucinations — and her own paranoia, as she spies on the Russell house through a DSLR camera, in shots reminiscent of Rear Window. The film goes all in on the psychological-thriller inspirations, with scenes from the classic noir films Anna watches melding into memories of a past trauma. That event also becomes a secret for the movie to unravel. I suppose I did recently say it would be a long time before I read another book with "Girl" in the title. While in this case the word is "Woman", the trendy use of "Woman" in titles lately is just about as bad as "Girl", so it might as well be the same thing. Also, I have no control of when my library holds come in, so here I am reading a book with "Woman" in the title.

Women, girls... they are everywhere, man. They’re in cabins, they’re on trains, they’re in spider’s webs or hornet’s nests. Sometimes they’re gone. Sometimes someone let them go. Sometimes they’re in a group. In this case, there is a woman in a window. She’s not a woman in white or a lady in shadows or a girl who circumnavigated anything. She’s just a woman named Anna Fox in a window.Anna has a drinking problem and mixes alcohol with medications, even though she knows she shouldn't. She appears to pass out every night from the mix, and the consumption seems to be causing hallucinations and memory issues. She has a stash of pills that could be used to kill a person. A woman is said to have been a meth addict in the past. But of course, one of the absolute best aspects of the book is the immaculate plot. I love a thriller novel that has so many plot twists which all can convince me that the following twist is more believable than the last. Despite it’s slow pace, I felt as if I was at the edge of my seat for the entirety of the novel. I’m not the most prolific reader when it comes to thrillers, but The Woman In The Window is one of my favorites that I have ever read. I loved the psychological aspect of the novel and being privy to Anna’s thoughts and actions as she struggled with depression and agoraphobia. I had enormous sympathy for her. One day, while spying on the neighbors across the street, Anna witnesses a crime, but, because of her alcohol and pill addiction, she has trouble getting the police to believe her – that and the fact that there is zero evidence of a crime, but compelling evidence that Anna is unstable and imagining things. In fact, Anna begins to doubt herself.

I am still eagerly looking forward to the Netflix version of it. As the plot of this book was amazing, a better screenwriter, director, and actors can create magic with this story. The people who worked behind this movie are all the best in their respective fields and have also worked for films like Gone Girl and Atonement. If the movie lives up to the hype created by its trailer, I think it will be one of those rare instances where the movie will be better than the book. The Woman in the Window is Amazing, Actually".

Get started Close Beware that the beginning is a bit confusing and takes awhile to set things in motion, but even with that I couldn't pull myself away from the story. Anna Fox was once an active child psychologist with a wonderful life. But after a traumatic event almost a year ago, everything changed. She now suffers from agoraphobia. Her home is her entire world…she no longer goes outside. Anna’s life now consists of old movies, a lot of wine (and prescription pills), and online chat rooms. But she’s also found another way to spend her time…. watching the neighbors through her camera lens. She knows everyone’s schedule; she even knows who is having an affair.

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. This was my second attempt trying to read this book. I did not finish this book on my first attempt as I didn't like it (DNF at 80%). In the second attempt, I somehow finished reading it. Even after two years after my first tryst with it, my opinion towards this book sadly didn’t change. Anna urges Ethan to talk to the police, but he convinces her that he will talk his parents into turning themselves in. Ethan later sends a text confirming he and his parents are going to the police. That night, Anna realizes that Ethan mentioned something that he couldn't have known. She is startled by Ethan in her room, where he confesses that he has psychopathic tendencies, that he has been sneaking into her home at night to watch her, and that he has stalked other women as well. He reveals that he was the one who killed Katie because of his resentment about the abuse and neglect he faced as a child under her care, and that his father knew, but kept it a secret to protect Jane. However, I definitely felt like staying home and drinking... and I don't drink so I guess something in there worked... maybe? Did you know you can flag iffy content?

Anna Fox is a child psychotherapist who suffers from agoraphobia. As she’s trapped in her house, there’s not a lot of action to begin with. But that kind of works. But a little of that goes along way and I kept waiting for something to happen to turn up the pace. a b c Bergeson, Samantha (March 16, 2022).
