About this listen

She thought her neighbors had the perfect life. But when murder rocks the suburbs, she becomes the perfect suspect....

Amber is barely holding it together. In the midst of a messy divorce, sometimes the only thing that gets her out of bed is spying on her handsome neighbor Caleb. She fantasizes about trading places with Caleb’s spouse and makes it no secret that she’d kill for that kind of life. Her words come back to haunt her when Caleb’s wife is murdered and Amber becomes a top suspect....

To catch the real killer and clear her name, Amber must peel back the hidden layers of a neighborhood she thought she knew. The clues lead her to shocking revelations about Caleb’s far-from-perfect marriage and her own failed relationship. As she digs deeper, Amber is certain of one thing: There’s no end to what people will do to keep their secrets behind closed doors....

The Girl in the Window is a spine-tingling psychological suspense novel. If you like unsettling suburban mysteries, complex characters, and jaw-dropping twists, then you’ll love Renée Pawlish’s mind-bending story.

This book was a quick, easy listen and is a fairly straightforward whodunnit. Amber lives alone, is going through a divorce and often watches her neighbours through her window. When one of her neighbours is murdered Amber becomes a suspect and sets out to find the murderer.

Although the plot was fairly basic it did hold my interest even though I found Amber incredibly annoying!

I listened to the Audible version of the book and enjoyed the relaxed narration of Jennifer Blom.

Entertaining whodunnit

Sadly, I never really engaged with this book. The main character was going through a divorce and was obviously depressed, but she spent her days peering out of her window at the characters who lived near-by, and poking her nose into everybody's business. I just couldn't like her. In fact there wasn't a single character who I could say I actually liked.

Amber hasn't been in the neighbourhood for long but her marriage has broken up and she's alone in the large, luxurious house, amongst people who mostly despise her. It's known that she lusts after another woman's husband and this is hardly going to make her popular. When that woman is found dead, Amber immediately becomes a suspect and uses this as an excuse to be even more infuriating and intrusive.

I assumed that this was the author's first novel, but in fact she has written two mystery series, so I don't feel too bad about being honest. There was no subtlety to the plot and Amber was nosing around well before she had the valid reason of protecting herself from being a suspect.
The narration by Jennifer Blom was fine, a bit slow, but I could have sped it up if I'd chosen to.
2.5 stars.

The nosey neighbour.

Good book and I didn't guess the killer which makes a change. The narrator was excellent.
