Lock Every Door

I won\’t rewrite the book jacket bio here. I\’m just going to get into my general assessment of the book. This book addresses the disparity between those who have money, power, and privilege and how they see those of us who have very little (struggling to find gainful employment, between living situations, little to no money, etc.) in comparison. If you start to question why the apartment sitters of the Bartholomew building really can\’t have visitors, spend nights away, or bother the elite residents, and why there is so much odd turnover of temporary residents, you\’ll get what the story is actually about. You just have to dig a little deeper into \”if it is too good to be true….\” It is certainly more sinister and upsetting than you imagine. There are a few misleading twists and turns, but, ultimately, the book is a solid, suspenseful, at times predictable read. You will likely be able to figure things out about 65% of the way through, or sooner if you paid attention to the little details about what has been said or shared about the building and the people living in it, and more importantly what hasn\’t (been shared). The performance is well-done; the writing itself isn\’t too over the top, though much of the plot is; the characters, minus our protagonist, are not well-developed and rounded out. We get one-dimensional rich people and know even less about their assistants (medical staff, doormen, etc.). We\’re not going to know too much about most of them until the near-end of the book. 38 people found this helpful

This is my first time reading a book by this author! It was part of my book of the month club. I absolutely loved it! I could not predict the ending would be so gruesome! No spoilers here but I will definitely be looking for more books by this author!! 11 people found this helpful

A lot of the reviews I read suggested the book was a bit convoluted. Its a great read understanding that the author dabbles in the noir, supernatural, and classic horror elements. I also love that the narrator sounds a lot like Maggie Gyllenhaal. 7 people found this helpful

It\’s a little at 1st but picks up towards the end and was very interesting. 7 people found this helpful

A lackluster mash-up of several better books, most notably Rosemary’s Baby. There isn’t a character, plot point, or scene you haven’t read or watched in a movie before. The narrator does a decent job tho her attempts at a Brooklyn accent are pretty funny. 14 people found this helpful
