The Woman in the Window: The hottest new release thriller of 2018 and a No. 1 New York Times bestseller

Product Information

A 2019 article in the New York Times investigated and dismissed plagiarism rumors stemming from plot similarities between The Woman in the Window and another book in the same genre, Sarah A. Denzil’s Saving April. [19] The Times reviewed original outlines of The Woman in the Window and concluded that the similar plot points "were all included in outlines for The Woman in the Window . . . in the fall of 2015, before Ms Denzil began writing Saving April.” [19] The Times noted that the Woman in the Window plot outlines it reviewed were dated September 20, 2015 and October 4, 2015, and that Sarah Denzil did not begin writing Saving April until October 2015. [19] The Times also reported that Mallory had started writing The Woman in the Window in the summer of 2015. [19] In an interview with the trade publication Publishers Lunch, Sarah Denzil explained that she previewed a brief excerpt from Saving April in Kindle Scout in mid-December 2015 and that "March 2016 would have been the earliest point that anyone, aside from me, the Kindle Press team and the copy editor at Kindle Press, would have read the book in its entirety." [20] I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion but I'm getting a bit tired of reading mysteries where the main female character is an alcoholic. I get it, it makes them unreliable (and relatable for some maybe?) but it's a cheap way of doing it.

Her voice was a rainbow of nuances and emotions. But I’m wondering if this would have worked better as a book than as an audiobook. I find I like my audiobooks to be fast paced. I heard glimpses of good phrasing, something I always appreciate when I’m reading. Unfortunately, good writing is harder for me to appreciate when listening rather than reading. But that’s me, I’m definitely more visual than aural. Lots of other films are referenced or seen in passing in this movie. Did you recognize any? If so, which ones?

But she knows what she saw. And she needs to get help - and fast - otherwise the next person could be her. And that's the moment when everything turns upside down. Did Anna actually see anything, or was it a hallucination from her medicine or the old movies she has seen over and over again? What is she to believe, her eyes or those who tell her what her eyes have or haven't seen? What, and who, is real? Does she have anyone or anything to fear? Thompson, Anne (August 28, 2020).

In this book, you're following a psychologist who went through something traumatic that left her agoraphobe and... an alcoholic. Sadly I saw the twists coming and some parts towards the end just didn't feel right. Agoraphobia is an intense fear and anxiety of being in places where it is hard to escape, or where help might not be available.
