For readers of Gillian Flynn and Tana French comes one of the decade’s most anticipated debuts, to be published in thirty-four languages around the world and already in development as a major film from Fox: a twisty, powerful Hithcockian thriller about an agoraphobic woman who believes she witnessed a crime in a neighboring house.
It isn’t paranoia if it’s really happening . . .
Anna Fox lives alone?a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times . . . and spying on her neighbors.
Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, mother, their teenaged son. The perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn’t, her world begins to crumble?and its shocking secrets are laid bare.
What is real? What is imagined? Who is in danger? Who is in control? In this diabolically gripping thriller, no one—and nothing—is what it seems.
Twisty and powerful, ingenious and moving, The Woman in the Window is a smart, sophisticated novel of psychological suspense that recalls the best of Hitchcock?an unforgettable thriller that Louise Penny describes as “a tour de force.”
對於吉莉安.弗琳和塔娜.法蘭琪的書迷而言,《窗邊的女人》是十年來最值得期待的書籍。本書將以 34 種語言出版,正由福斯 2000 電影公司拍成電影。這是一部宛如希區考克電影般緊張而有耐人的驚悚小說,內容敘述一名患有恐曠症的女性,相信自己目擊鄰居家中的犯罪行為。
如果這是真實發生,就不是妄想⋯⋯
安娜.福斯獨自住在紐約的房子,足不出戶,整日酗酒,看著老電影,回想快樂的時光,並窺視鄰居的一舉一動⋯⋯
後來,羅素一家人搬到安娜家隔壁,一家三口看上去十分美滿,一對恩愛的夫妻和一個正值年少的兒子。然而有一晚安娜注視著窗外,看到了不該看的東西。從此她的世界轉變,隨後驚世駭俗的秘密也就一覽無遺了。
真相是什麼?謊言又是什麼?誰正步入危機?又是誰在背後主導?撲朔迷離的驚悚內容裡,所有人事物都令人半信半疑。
《窗邊的女人》內容耐人尋味、精心安排,劇情扣人心弦,讓讀者體驗希區考克驚悚故事的張力。知名作家露易絲.佩妮形容《窗邊的女人》為「驚悚小說界的傑作」。
