"Such an easy read, page turner, psychological suspense - really liked it"

"This was one of the better books I have read so far this year. A recluse of a woman, who is agoraphobic, is limited in interactions with the world around her. She knows everything and everyone in the neighborhood. She witnesses some unexplainable things but is not believed, due to her history of alcohol abuse. The ending was perfect and unexpected."

"This book starts off strong, grabbing your attention, then becomes somewhat redundant and lagging after the first climax. Anna's character is questionable, unreliable and her alcoholism becomes the focal point, too much so in my opinion. The story picks up again once you get to a major plot twist and learn the reason behind Anna's separation from her family, and then you won't want to put the book down. I read the second half in one sitting. "
