Hub and CrimeReads Most Anticipated Books of 2019 In this taut arresting debut a woman
becomes fixated on her neighbor-the 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-husband's cat. As her fascination grows the narrator's hold on reality
begins to slip. Before long she's collecting cast-off items from the actress's stoop and
fantasizing about sleeping with the actress's husband. After a disastrous interaction with the
actress at the annual block party what began as an innocent preoccupation turns into a
stunning-and irrevocable-unraveling. Immersive and darkly entertaining Looker is a searing
psychological portrait of obsession.
