As someone who struggles through mental illness, it was irksome to see that suddenly, all of Anna’s problems seemingly melt away because she’s been snooping too much.

It’s as if Finn decided to pepper in a couple sidekicks here and there just so the reader won’t get bored. They are there for Anna’s well-being and they are there for her to ignore, as she does too many times. The other characters are like cardboard, too.

Unfortunately, The Woman in the Window by A.J.

Somehow we soak up tales of cunning murder without the bat of an eye, and the more twisted the plot and its characters are, the better the thriller is. Ever since Gone Girl, thrillers have taken a special place in readers’ hearts and for good reason.
