The Woman in the Window

Mehhhh. Mehhhh and 3 stars, you ask? Well, it's really more of a 2.6 stars book. And, as a good little accountant, round up I must.

“A Woman in the Window” is totally fine as far as popcorn mystery/thriller goes. Sure, this is the umpteenth girl/woman/drunken-pill-popping-agoraphobic-friendless-unreliable-narrator-rear-window-based hot-fiction book in the last few years. Sure, some of the plot points and the ultimate reveal are kinda ham-fisted and/or totally silly.

BUT. I read this book in a few hours and barely put it down because the pacing is extremely well-done. The book wasn't so silly that I threw it across the room (and never would with a library book!!). The writing style was totally fine for popcorn mystery/thriller. It's also great after reading 3 Cormac McCarthy novels in a row. In case that should happen to you and you're in need of a follow-up.
