Resumen del Editor

The instant New York Times best seller

“Looking for a suspense novel that will keep you up until way past midnight? Look no further than Lock Every Door, by Riley Sager.” (Stephen King)

The next heart-pounding thriller from New York Times best-selling author Riley Sager follows a young woman whose new job apartment sitting in one of New York’s oldest and most glamorous buildings may cost more than it pays.

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Urban paranoia has a deliciously Gothic new address.” (Ruth Ware)

“The Bartholomew is an apartment building of terrifying secrets. You'll find startling twists and alarming surprises down every dark hallway. It's too late to lock the doors - the horror is already inside. My favorite thriller of the year!” (R. L. Stine, author of Goosebumps)

“The author, writing under a pen name, relates ominous events and spooky developments with skill, adding an element of social commentary and a surprise twist ending - elevating this exercise in terror above the ordinary shocker.” (Wall Street Journal)

Interesting adventure

A lot of the reviews I read suggested the book was a bit convoluted. Its a great read understanding that the author dabbles in the noir, supernatural, and classic horror elements. I also love that the narrator sounds a lot like Maggie Gyllenhaal.

It was better than I expected 🙂

I was surprisingly entertained by this one. Admittedly, I wasn't expecting too much, I thought it might be formulaic and predictable. Ok, it was a bit predictable in the final third or so, but the author did a good job of keeping the intrigue by creating sympathetic characters. This is well written, and the narrator was excellent. I'm recommending it if you are in the mood for a fast-paced thriller.

A must read

This was am entertaining listen! I really enjoyed this Riley Sager book, just like many of his other titles.

Excellent

I really enjoyed the naration, very easy to listen to. I somewhat guessed what was going on but not fully and still loved it. The ending though was amazing. That was what really drove it home for me.

An excellent, twisty story with great narration

I enjoyed the story from start to finish. I found myself rooting for the main character. The best part about the book, for me, was thinking I'd figured out everything happening and being thrown for a loop. Definitely worth the listen, or the read if you prefer. You can't lose either way! Well done, Riley Sager!

Wowza!

This was my first “book on tape” and what a great experience! I couldn’t wait to get back to the story, as it kept me guessing right until the end! Amazing!

Great!

Loved this story it keeps you guessing and I was surprised at the reveal. Not expecting it!!
