The Woman in the Window by AJ Finn

Mixture of murder mystery, film noir, psychological thriller, and just plain sad...I "Liked It"...though I will say, on the heels of The Children, I wondered what sort of list I was looking at to get these book recommendations where two books in a row the protagonist was an agoraphobic woman...since things often happen in threes, I'm on the lookout for another one...

This book had hints of Rear Window (I think that had to have been deliberate) and I seriously kept picturing Jimmy Stewart's girlfriend, her slim skirts and her hair always done and digitally remastered color...it was honestly a little distracting.  It also had a little bit of The Sixth Sense and some Stephen King to it.

I haven't read Finn before (at least that I recall) and I liked her style.  This book also hit all the pop culture lists and seems to be one "everyone" is reading or has read...as those type books go, I can see the appeal, which is more than I usually say for those types of books.
