A woman moves to a town where she becomes obsessed with watching the lives of her neighbors while stuck in a house that refuses to let her leave in this first ever short story from the New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Cold Cases.

Is there something wrong with Ginette Cox? It’s what everyone seems to think. When a doctor suggests that what she might need is less excitement, she packs up and moves from New York City to a house in suburban NY: 19 Howard Ave.

The town offers Ginette little in the way of entertainment in 1959, but at least she has interesting neighbors. Whether it’s the little girl with her doll or the couple and their mother-in-law, Ginette watches them from her window and makes up names and stories for them.

But it’s not all peaceful in suburbia. Ginette finds it hard to sleep in her new house. There are strange and scary noises coming from the basement, and she is trapped, either by a ghost or her own madness.

But when Ginette starts to think a murder has taken place and a mysterious man starts making terrifying appearances outside her window, it’s clear she must deal with whatever isn’t allowing her to escape this house…

Took me a bit to warm up to the main character.
The 1950’s were not known for their tolerance of differences, especially when it was a woman who was well spoken, opinionated and passionate.
Might we call it “The Age of Misogyny?”

Very good interesting story.

A fun October listen... the narrator really set the tone for the time period and character

I thought this was pretty good

Let me preface this by saying that I read The Sundown Motel by this author and LOVED it so much. Maybe my expectations were too high, but this story fell flat for me. There was far too much fluff, not enough suspense and an anticlimactic ending.

The narrator was amazing though.

Fabulous performance, not so fabulous story

Loved the novella! My only complaint is that I want more! Can’t wait for her next novel!

Simone St. James doesn’t disappoint!

I LOVE Simone St. James. Maybe because this was a shorter story is the reason it's not my favorite? Not sure. I just didn't really like the main character much at all. The narrator is good.

okay

Well get ready for this book that is exactly like it but there’s ghosts … or are there?

This book was a fast read and worth it if you wanna hit a goal. I did enjoy it but once it got to the end it was a little ehhh. It just didn’t feel like it fit.

SPOILERS


You have this woman who can’t leave her house because the house just won’t let her so she spends all day watching her neighbors live their lives. Guessing what’s going on just by what she can see. And in doing so she sees what she assumes is a murder. Which spoiler everything was out of context because she can only see very few moments out of these peoples lives and there was no murder. But at the end there was. Well it happened 25 years prior and she just knows about it after she burns down the house and is released. Apparently that gave her all the knowledge about that house. After not talking about this at all any other time in the book. She’s just like ‘ Trixie was a child who was murdered here 25 years ago. Her remains are in the basement ‘. After the entire book being about a completely different family and how she thought they murdered grandma. Like ….. wtf.

Have you read woman in the window?

"I open my eyes when I hear footsteps at the front door. A man's footsteps, heavy.."

LOVED this little novella!! It is peppered with Rear Window vibes, but in a more ghosty way. This was paced perfectly but I wanted more, these characters were just fascinating to follow!

Spookily Great Listen!
