The Woman in the Window
She cannot leave her house. She watches the neighbours. One night she sees something she was not meant to see.
The View From Inside
A.J. Finn's 2018 debut follows Anna Fox, a child psychologist who has not left her New York townhouse in months due to severe agoraphobia. She fills her days with wine, old films, and watching her neighbours through the window. When the Russell family moves in across the park, Anna forms a tentative connection with the wife. Then one night she witnesses what appears to be a violent assault, and nobody believes her. Particularly not the woman who turns up and claims to be the wife.

"A.J. Finn
A.J. Finn is a pseudonym for Daniel Mallory, a former publisher who wrote the novel drawing consciously on Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window and classic golden age crime novels. He sold it in a major auction before publication.
The book debuted at number one on the New York Times bestseller list and sold over two million copies. The Netflix film adaptation starred Amy Adams in 2021 and received mixed reviews despite strong source material.
