Lock Every Door
Book Feature - Lock Every Door by Riley Sager
HBL Note: This. Book. Sounds. So. Good. It is like a modern-day Fiona Davis novel! I can just imagine this same story taking place at The Dakota. I am now dreaming of being an apartment sitter at a glamorous building - I think I’d be good at that job. However, as soon as someone went missing I’d be OUT. I don’t like scary movies and I definitely don’t want to live in one. Lock Every Door by Riley Sager has all the makings for a phenomenal page-turner. Scroll down to read more…
From the publisher:
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.
