Even those infamous contributions, those dialogues across the ether that were later purged by the Library, helped break that cycle of loneliness in which our citizens were confined. “But isn’t it possible that the Library did reach one of its goals?

![]() ![]() ![]() Masterfully plotted and vividly told, THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW draws readers into the maze-like mind of a very solitary woman, and unravels the external circumstances that have made her who she is. Rather than a shock-value, twisty-turny psychological thriller, THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW proves that plotting and character development will always be the ultimate mark of a strong crime novel. But just trust me - what begins with a familiar premise quickly diverges. THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW in many ways marks a very welcome return to the basics of crime fiction storytelling - and I mean this in the best possible sense. ![]() At first glance, the plot of THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW feels quite familiar: a reclusive woman spends her days observing her neighbors from the windows of her home - a hobby that seems harmless, until she sees something she shouldn’t.ĭoes this sound a bit too much like THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN at first glance?

Early on, Amanda mail-orders a book on architecture, but instead she’s sent a volume on demon possession. She dreams of Naamah: she and the demon wade in a sea of blood, Naamah, with beautiful black hair and pointy teeth, promises that she will always love Amanda and never leave. ![]() ![]() Perfectly reasonable, but in retrospect Amanda sees these inconsequential changes as signs of the demon taking hold of her. It begins imperceptibly at first-strange tapping sounds in her loft, increasing discord between her and husband Ed, her taking up cigarettes-but all these things are explained away by common sense: the loft is old and squeaks, she and Ed need more quality time together, stress at work has drawn her back to a bad habit.

Studies suggest fish oil-which contains omega-3 fatty acids like EPA-may have anti-depressant effects and, in studies, has been found to be beneficial for treating depression ( 1, 2).
