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. No disturbing the other residents, all of whom are rich or famous or both. Sager does an excellent job of bringing the creep to an old-school scary mystery that will keep you turning pages-and checking your locks.

What was fun was trying to figure out just who was telling the truth. Look, I’ve read enough mysteries to know that there are always twists, and that you can’t trust any of the characters. Ruh-roh, Shaggy! And just when Jules discovers that the last woman to stay in the apartment disappeared under mysterious circumstances, another sitter goes missing, leaving Jules to wonder if she’ll make it out of the Bartholomew alive. Shortly after her arrival, she hears strange noises, and learns some upsetting stories about the building’s past. One thousand dollars a week to live in a huge, fancy apartment? It sounds too good to be true! Spoiler: That’s because it is. Suddenly jobless and homeless, she’s over the moon when she’s hired to be an apartment sitter at the Bartholomew, a famously mysterious and prestigious NYC apartment building. Let’s twist again, like we did last summer: Riley Sager is back with a dark, suspenseful novel about a house-sitting job from hell! It’s the must-read summer thriller that will have your little gray cells twerking up a storm!
