The Window
by Amelia Brunskill
After the death of her twin sister Anna, Jess vows to figure out what happened. The premises had my attention regarding the mystery, but the plot was very slow. Jess was hard to connect with. She made assumptions on a single piece of evidence and stuck with that story, blaming the beloved English teacher and cross-country/track coach for seducing her twin. She joins track and frequently stalks this teacher, trying to see if he will slip up and do something implementing that will connect him to Anna. And that was about it.
She spent so much time focused on the teacher that she skimmed over other clues that were flashing right in front of her. Despite being dense, she made rash decisions that left her parents, teachers, and friend concerned about her (which was normal to a degree since she was coping with her twin’s sudden death).
The story was slow; nothing really happened until the reveal at the end which I predicted at the beginning. This was nicely written, but there are ways to revamp it to make it more interesting and suspenseful, especially since I had been looking forward to reading this one.
I received an ARC of The Window through NetGalley.
