Jules is down on her luck. She just lost her job and caught her boyfriend cheating on her. While living on her friend’s couch, she finds and help wanted ad for an apartment sitter. It sounds too good to be true—$12,000 to stay in the famous apartment building, the Bartholomew, for 3 months. What’s the catch? At first, it doesn’t seem like there is one, despite all the weird “rules” assigned to her. But after Jules learns more about the Bartholomew and its residents’ dark past, Jules breaks one of the rules and starts trying to figure out what’s really going on within the building and why apartment sitters keep disappearing.
Once you think you know what’s going on, you probably don’t. This novel draws on themes such as family ties and class to make a poignant point about people having worth no matter how much is in their bank account. Everyone has their own motivations, and exploiting people who have less is never okay.
I loved Jules and her determination to keep pushing no matter what, or who, gets in her way. She’s a great FMC who won’t let her past determine her future.
If you’re looking for a chilling and thrilling novel, you’ve found it in Lock Every Door. It truly did not disappoint.

This one at least, had such a good atmosphere, and the twist was kind of bait and switch, which I really enjoyed.
The book was also a pretty biting social commentary about class difference and exploiting the desperation of the poor.
This was my third Sager book, and it's my favorite so far.

For New Yorkers, everyone seems to be surprisingly friendly and helpful in this book.
