What this book is about
A.J. Finn's debut domestic thriller follows Anna Fox — an agoraphobic child psychologist confined to her Manhattan home — who believes she has witnessed a crime through her neighbor's window, but whose reliability as a witness is constantly undermined by her condition, her medications, and the neighbors themselves. Hitchcock-inflected and twisty.
