Lock Every Door: A Novel Paperback – May 5, 2020

This book was well written. It was a very interesting and kept me waiting for the next chapter. The ending was very interesting to say the least. Again if you’re looking for a great book to sit down by a fireplace and watch the snow fall or watch the rain or whatever it is you want this book is for you.

LOCK EVERY DOOR is the second book I've read by author Riley Sager. As with my first taste of his work, I found the characters compelling, and the setting/situation one I didn't want to stop reading about. Sager's writing style is fluid and set at just the right pace to keep things moving forward without any noticeable lulls.In this novel, we have Jules Larsen--a young, orphaned woman--who just had a major life setback. Losing her job, she goes to her apartment only to find that the rest of her life has fallen apart. Alone--aside from her friend, Chloe--she feels it a miracle when she answers an ad for an apartment sitter.This is not just any building, either.The Bartholomew, is known as one of Manhattan's "most glamorous and secretive buildings". Home to the very wealthy who prefer their privacy, the prospect of living among them for three months--with pay--is a chance too good to be true."Every so often, life offers you a reset button . . . "Of course, things aren't as placid as they seem on the surface. There's an underlying tension that you can pick up on immediately, but with her situation, Jules can't afford to be skeptical.". . . here's the thing about being poor--most people don't understand it unless they've been there themselves."Rumors of former apartment sitters that have run off are disturbing, but she tries to focus on the new start this money will allow her."There's aways a moment when worry turns to fear . . ." <?i>The complexity of the characters kept me on my toes the entire time, and I tried to puzzle through what the common factors could be. Cryptic comments made me pause, but didn't quite give any secrets away.Overall, I guessed at a few of the key points, but not all of them by any means. This story kept me enthralled until the very end.". . . certain places. The closer you get to them, the uglier they become."The secrets behind the Bartholomew's facade are so numerous that this story is sure to keep many up reading all night long.Recommended.

The twists and turns, the suspense, the pure out of this world imagination behind this story, are impossible to convey. Another phenomenal and scary journey with this author, and I can't wait for the next one!

I loved the first book by this author so I had very high expectations. Sadly, it just didn’t meet them. I will say that the end totally rocked me. I did not see that coming. I knew something was up but not that.The characters seemed to irk me quite a bit. The main character was sweet but so damn naive. Someone please tell me what the hell happened to June?!?! I think the characters were the biggest downfall for me.The beginning of the book grabbed me and then near the middle I was just wanted to get on with it. We know something is up just tell us.I still think this author is a great writer and I did love the end of the book. I will read another book by this author and see if maybe it was just this book.

I was expecting supernatural for some reason, and I couldn’t have been more wrong. I enjoyed the book, the ending was strange though.

From the beginning, we know something isn’t right at the Bartholomew, but we don’t quite know what it is. There’s strange happenings, an interesting cast of characters, and quite a few twists. The setting in itself is such a fun (and creepy) backdrop to the story. I don’t want to spoil anything, but this one kept me hooked from the beginning.Even if you begin to figure out who’s involved, what it is they’re involved in is another matter…

With books like this, who needs sleep? Jules lands a new job apartment sitting that will pay her $12k after three months. It's exactly what she needs to help turn her life around. However, as the saying goes, "If it seems too good to be true, it usually is." By the time Jules realizes her life is in danger, she's already in much too deep, as those who land this particular job don't live to land another.

this was my first riley sager book and it did not disappoint!! veered more into mystery while i was expecting thriller but otherwise this was really gripping and had more to say than i anticipated. definitely not overly predictable although there were a couple moments i found pretty illogical as far as character choices go. all in all i’m glad i tried out his writing and will definitely read more
