Book Description
The next heart-pounding thriller from New York Times bestselling author Riley Sager follows a young woman whose new job apartment sitting in one of New York’s oldest and most glamorous buildings may cost more than it pays.
No visitors. No nights spent away from the apartment. No disturbing the other residents, all of whom are rich or famous or both. These are the only rules for Jules Larsen’s new job as an apartment sitter at the Bartholomew, one of Manhattan's most high-profile and mysterious buildings. Recently heartbroken and just plain broke, Jules is taken in by the splendor of her surroundings and accepts the terms, ready to leave her past life behind.
As she gets to know the residents and staff of the Bartholomew, Jules finds herself drawn to fellow apartment sitter Ingrid, who comfortingly reminds her of the sister she lost eight years ago. When Ingrid confides that the Bartholomew is not what it seems and the dark history hidden beneath its gleaming facade is starting to frighten her, Jules brushes it off as a harmless ghost story . . . until the next day, when Ingrid disappears.
Searching for the truth about Ingrid’s disappearance, Jules digs deeper into the Bartholomew's sordid past and into the secrets kept within its walls. What she discovers pits Jules against the clock as she races to unmask a killer, expose the building’s hidden past, and escape the Bartholomew before her temporary status becomes permanent.
My Thoughts
One of my most anticipated releases of 2019 and soo happy and lucky I got an early copy. Thank you so so much Dutton and Netgalley.
I love Riley Sager's books, there is no other way to put it. His writing, the characters, the setting, always on point and deliver not only a great story but an unforgettable one.
Lock Every Door. No visitors. No nights spent away from the apartment. No disturbing the other residents, all of whom are rich or famous or both. These are the only rules for Jules Larsen’s new job as an apartment sitter at the Bartholomew, one of Manhattan's most high-profile and mysterious buildings. Recently heartbroken and just plain broke, Jules is taken in by the splendor of her surroundings and accepts the terms, ready to leave her past life behind.
And with this, we embark ourselves in finding out if it is that good to be true. And what we find? What Jules finds? Oh man, something totally unexpected, twisted, dark. She finds herself having to pay a really high prize to be there. She starts seeing things, suspecting things, which take her on this journey of finding the true, the reality of what the Bartholomew and its residents hide.
Lock Every Door is all you want to see on a great thriller and more. As a said, I love Riley's books but have to say this is my favorite out of the three. Jules is a character that whether with like it or not, gets in our minds and is almost like we are there with her, going through all she goes through. And I loved the turn in events, because I was definitely not expecting what was hidden behind doors a the Bartholomew.
Thanks to the Author for another treasure of a book. Keep them coming.
Thank you Dutton and Netgalley for the free advanced copy, in exchange for an honest review.
