In this âwicked slow burnâ (Entertainment Weekly) of psychological suspense from the author of How Can I Help You, a woman becomes fixated on her neighborâthe actress.
Though the two women live just a few doors apart, a chasm lies between them. The actress, a celebrity with a charmed career, shares a gleaming brownstone with her handsome husband and three adorable children, while the recently separated narrator, unhappily childless and stuck in a dead-end job, lives in a run-down, three-story walk-up with her ex-husbandâs cat.
As her fascination with her famous neighbor grows, the narratorâs hold on reality begins to slip. Before long, sheâs collecting cast-off items from the actressâs stoop and fantasizing about sleeping with the actressâs husband. After a disastrous interaction with the actress at the annual block party, what began as an innocent preoccupation turns into a stunningâand irrevocableâunraveling.
A riveting portrait of obsession, Looker is âa sugarcoated poison pill of psychological terrorâ (The Wall Street Journal) and an immersive and darkly entertaining readââby the end youâll be gaspingâ (People).
