Our Take

An agoraphobic woman watches her neighbours through a camera and believes she has witnessed a murder. The unreliability is layered — medication, isolation, alcohol, grief — and Finn makes each layer feel earned rather than convenient. You cannot trust her. You cannot stop reading. The novel is most interesting as a study in how isolation warps perception long before any crime occurs.
