Nathalia, a young photographer, has been seeing a therapist. Having accidentally photographed a murder, she finds that she can no longer do her job.  Instead, Doctor Faber suggests that she write about the neighbours she idly observes in the building across the street. But as these written snapshots become increasingly detailed, he starts to wonder how she can possibly know so much about them. With each session, Doctor Faber and his mysterious patient will get closer and closer to the truth. But are the stories Nathalia submits each week as she claims...

I’m new to the world of mystery, thriller, crime, and such, and I have to say: I expected something different from this genre 😅 To be honest, I wouldn’t have read ‘French Window’ if it hadn’t been chosen for our book club. The tone of voice was a bit drier, but still light and easy to follow. It was a good and short read (took me about 2.5 hours), and the build-up of the story was nice. Since there weren’t any clear chapter separations—apart from the titles of Nathalia’s short stories—Laurain managed to pull me through the book. All in all, I can recommend the book and I’m already looking forward to the book club discussion 😬
