Product Information

Coincidentally, there is a missing 19-year old woman from their town, and they can’t help but wonder if that’s who they saw in the window of the house. They both believe they are seeing an attack or some form of violence taking place in an abandoned building.

Together they team up to solve "who the fuck is that lady in the dilapidated house across the street". This is a wickedly clever premise that features a mother of two (Mary) who is on maternity leave and of course like every mother needs a good night's Sleep.Unable to sleep at night, Tim, wonders from room to room of his apartment wondering if he will ever be able to live again. As the pair are drawn into a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse, the culprit appears to be even closer to home than they thought. Despite their unending tiredness, these neighbors both end up in a park near their homes at 4 AM peering up at a lit window of a home where they both believe they’ve seen a young woman, Samantha Ellis, recently reported missing in the news.

Mary and Tim soon realise this this is a very complex case and the culprit could be more close to home than they thought. I’ve wanted to read a Claire McGowan book for a while now and appreciated the introduction to her writing. taking a bite of the juiciest, cheesiest, creamiest mac n cheese but the aftertaste is kraft dinner dry ass powder.Like sleuths, they follow the clues, try to involve the police, but with no results, and eventually are in danger for their lives.

However, she makes terrible decision after terrible decision that someone that smart would unlikely make. Then, there are books like this one that are so ridiculous and inconceivable that you only continue to invest your time in them, simply to find out how much more unbelievable they can get. Just when we think we have it figured out, there are more twists and turns, and the drama surrounding them all intensifies. I guess i thought it would be more based around the friendship between the neighbors and their insomnia. A lot of the story was more plot driven than character dynamic and character development but I think this made it a good book.Mary and Tim later bond and try to piece together what they saw that night and begin to connect it to the missing girl.
