“Lock Every Door” by Riley Sager

Jules has never been so alone as she is now. With both of her parents now gone and her sister Jane, a missing person for years, still unaccounted for Jules doesn’t think she could slip any lower. That was until she lost her job and walked in on her live-in boyfriend with another woman all in the same day. Forced to now sleep on her best friend’s couch, Jules can’t believe her luck when she finds an ad for a job as an apartment sitter. She jumps at the chance for an interview and when she arrives finds herself at the very building that drew her to New York City in the first place, The Bartholomew. Jules and her sister Jane read a book set in this very building over and over again as teenagers. Not only does she get to live there for three months but the twelve thousand dollars she will get paid to do so will help her get back on her feet again. Yes, the “temporary resident” rules are a little strict and strange but Jules keeps her eyes on her bank account to justify them. When she befriends another fellow apartment sitter things begin to unravel and the facade of The Bartholomew starts to tumble down as secrets from the building’s history begin to reveal themselves. People move in to The Bartholomew but not everyone gets out alive. This is the second book I’ve read by author Riley Sager and I thought it would be hard to beat “The Last Time I Lied” but “Lock Every Door” had me on the edge of my seat. This is a nail-biting, don’t read alone at night thriller that will have you guessing what is coming next all the way through. For those of you who love a twisty mystery be sure to add this to your TBR list.
