Summary

The Woman in the Window: A Novel by A.J. Finn is a highly successful debut novel by the author. The protagonist Dr. Anna Fox was once a renowned child psychologist. She is now reduced to an agoraphobic, alcoholic recluse holed up inside her house in a nice Harlem neighborhood. She does not have her family- her husband and daughter and there are too many idle hours in the day for her to fill.

She lives alone with her cat and a tenant in the basement apartment. Anna knows all her neighbors though she never visits them. She spends her days playing chess online and counseling agoraphobic people in a chatroom. During the evenings she calls her estranged husband who constantly reminds her that they are separated and too much of contact is not recommended. She does not have much of a social life.

Anna spends her days peeping into the lives of other people in her neighborhood. She has a Nikon D5500 camera and good quality zoom lens through which she watches her neighbors life- their affairs, fights, intimate moments and other activities. Anna finally witnesses a murder in the home of the child who comes to visit her frequently.

Everyone including the child though say that the victim is not dead. Anna comes across as a highly unreliable witness under the effects of drugs and alcohol. Anna herself is not sure if she actually witnessed a murder or was she hallucinating. The remainder of the story deals with how the murder mystery unfolds further.
