Lock Every Door - Riley Sager

Jules has just about hit rock bottom, when she applies for a job working at a famous New York landmark  All she has to do is to house sit a fabulous penthouse apartment for 3 months and be paid for it.  Of course nothing is quite as simple as it sounds, and things begin to look sinister quite quickly.  I did feel the menace in the story and was waiting for probably more spookiness than it offered, as I realized about half way through what was going on.  Still it was a pretty evenly paced Gothic horror that didn't fizzle out at the end like so many.  4/5

She should have guessed that such an easy job would lead to trouble. It's too bad you guessed the secret before the end, but applause to the author for keeping you interested beyond that point.
