                  The Woman in the Window
                            A. J. Finn

               2018 A-Z Challenge ------- "W"

Oh Anna!!!!! You showed me so much about being an agoraphobic, maybe too much in the first half of the book.!!  What a debilitating disorder!!!

Anna has been unable to leave her house for 11 months, she is estranged from her husband and daughter, but they talk almost every day and she entertains herself by watching her neighbors, playing online chess and belonging to an agoraphobia's website.

She also takes her prescribed meds with her too many glasses of wine.   (Confession:::  I drank more wine than I normally do while reading this book).   So when she sees something happen at one of her neighbors, two things happen: 1. She is unable to help because she can"t leave her house and  2. No one believes her because she is on too many meds and drinks way too much.

While the first half of this book gets bogged down with Anna's daily (and yes, boring) routine, be prepared for a much-better second half. Some of your questions (or a least mine were), will be answered in the second half.  Some twists I did not see coming and a couple that I did, but over all a fairly good thriller.
