The Woman In The Window by A.J. Finn

In the year since it’s been out, The Woman in the Window has been more noted for the drama of its author than the success of the book itself, thanks in large part to Ian Parker’s excellent New Yorker piece on Dan Mallory, aka “AJ Finn.” Reading it made me never want to pick up the book despite the breathless hype surrounding it. While i occasionally indulge in the Gillian Flynn thriller, I prefer more of a noir with this type of book, so I assumed this was of […]

I actually read more books this year than I have since I can remember. I just don’t have the energy to review them all for various reasons. Last year I did a round-up of all the books I didn’t properly review, and I’d like to do the same now (I’m only counting this review as 1 book read, because even though it’s lots of books, it’s not a full review for each and there’s no overarching theme like I usually do in my multi-book reviews). […]

Episode 1-49: I Feel It Coming, Babe

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/12/28/episode-1-49-i-feel-it-coming-babe/ Wherein I review: 186 – The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn I guess psychologist is the new author in the dark thriller.  This was pretty much Drunk Rear Window, and I saw the twists, but it wasn’t bad.  And as we creep towards the finish, I ponder whether or not to keep doing the podcast or hang up my spurs.  And disappoint my twelves and twelves of fans.

Entertaining thriller; leaned into all the wrong parts. #CBRBingo (3rd Bingo!)

I didn’t expect this book to blow my mind, so I had a good time reading it. It was pretty fucked up, in that what-the-hell-is-going-on sort of way. That made me read it super fast, and I was completely absorbed the whole time. But when the reveal finally happened, it just felt really clichéd the way it played out. This book is about Anna Fox, a former child psychologist, now agoraphobic shut-in, who hasn’t left her house in ten months (almost eleven), and who spends […]

I’ve never read this before but I have 100% already read this before

Oh my God I don’t think I have ever been this behind (6!) on reviews and I apologize in advance for forthcoming onslaught of Caitlin_D opinions. “My dear girl, you cannot keep bumping your head against reality and saying it is not there.” Dr. Anna Fox lives alone in New York City. A traumatic event has left her paralyzed with fear; she can’t leave her house and her husband, along with their daughter, left her. She used to be a child psychologist but she now […]

A little bit of Rear Window…

I love love love this book!!  A number of twists that I did not see coming! I can’t talk too much about it, as I don’t want to give anything away, but as far as suspense thrillers go, this is one of my top 5! A. J. Finn certainly manages to create a gripping tale. The main character, Anna, is rather frustrating, as she is an alcoholic and you often just want to scream at her to not have a glass of wine. However it […]
