Blurbs/Reviews for The Window:

“A gripping tale of suspense, secrets, and the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood.”—Karen M. McManus, New York Times bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying

“Layered and compelling, THE WINDOW is a fast-paced mystery anchored by a bold and intriguing protagonist, and you won’t want to put it down until you’ve uncovered every last one of its secrets!”—Caleb Roehrig, author of Last Seen Leaving

“Lyrical and haunting, with plenty of twists that kept me reading long into the night.”—Kara Thomas, author of The Darkest Corners

“[S]hort chapters move this debut briskly along, and it will hook those interested in a mystery that’s as much a psychological examination of one girl’s grief as it is a thriller”–Booklist

“It’s a heartfelt depiction of the grieving process and a thought-provoking exploration of secret lives kept hidden.” –Publishers Weekly
