The Woman In The Window, Finn - B

                                                       This novel is the classic beach read page-turner that can be, and was by me, knocked-off in a day.  Dr. Anna Fox suffers from a severe case of agoraphobia and is unable to leave her four- story Harlem townhouse. Like Jimmy Stewart in 'Rear Window', she sits with a long range lens and watches things going on across the street. She watches b +w movies, especially old Hitchcock's, as she pops pills and consumes vast amounts of merlot trying to forget the events that drove her over the edge. She thinks she sees a murder, but then again, who'd believe a woman who can barely remember what day it is. I wouldn't be surprised if this makes it to the silver screen.
