"The woman in the window" by A.J. Finn

"The woman in the window" 

by A.J. Finn

Frankly speaking when I picked up this book, the first thought that came to my mind was - Is this like a sister to "A girl on the train", them having some similarity on titles.  I actually started reading it being very sure it will be a similar plot wherein someone sees something, then no one believes due to drinking or some other problem and later on everyone believes and truth prevails.  Well, is it the case?

Yes and No.  The plot might be similar but the narrative and writing are very different.  I picked up the book and could  not keep it down.  Specially after there is a twist in the plot, the reading goes on irrespective of the time.   

The book starts with regular scenario whereby things are going fine and the woman is noticing things in her regular life.  One keeps on wondering as to why is she in such a situation.  A connection to a lesser known medical condition makes one do a little side research.  The writer leaves lots to a healthy imagination as to the situation wherein this woman could be.  The twists are  what brought life  to the book.  The twists regarding her current situation and the twists regarding the protagonist.  Both are new and surprising - enough to hold the reader down and give a value for money.
