(46)Lock Every Door by Riley Sager

Jules Larsen was in desperate need of something to go her way.   She had just lost her job and walked into her apartment to find her boyfriend cheating on her.  She has been crashing on her best friend's couch when she sees the perfect gig listed on Craigslist.  An apartment sitter at one of the most exclusive addresses in New York City, the Bartholomew,  for a lot of money.  Jules eagerly takes the job, but some of the rules are disturbing.  She can't have visitors.  At all.  And she isn't supposed to spend the night away from the apartment.  She isn't the only apartment sitter in the building and Jules seems to be making friends. But she learns that the Bartholomew has a dark history, and then weird things start happening, causing her to think that maybe The Bartholomew isn't the safest place to live.   Then her new friend goes missing.  And she catches one of her favorite residents in the building in a lie.  And the handsome doctor, Nick Bartholomew, starts to give her a vibe that worries her.  Jules's instincts tell her to get out, but the money is too good to leave on the table.  The Bartholomew may be the nicest place Jules will ever live, but it may also be the last place that she will ever live.

I don't think I have ever read a book that had me so confident that I would see the characters on a screen someday.  And I was right.  Paramount picked it up for a series. I was hooked from the very first page.  Jules Larsen is a character that you want to see "win" for once.   She has no family, she just lost her job and her boyfriend.  You want her to win.  With age comes wisdom and I knew that if it is too good to be true, it generally is.  I was just waiting for that other shoe to drop.  Yes, apartment sitters are going missing, but the reason why they go missing was so shocking to me.  I don't know what I was expecting, but it was not that.  CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS   I was very pleased with the ending, it had the potential for going off the rails, but it was satisfying in every way.

Bottom Line - Lock Every Door is more than just a psychological thriller.  It is downright terrifying.   And I loved every page of it.
