Jess's twin sister, Anna, falls to her death from her bedroom window. Jess thought that Anna told her everything, but perhaps there was a lot going on that Jess didn't know about.
Everyone thinks Anna's death was accidental. Everyone except Jess. She can't give up on figuring out why Anna was sneaking out. Jess begins to find out things about her twin that she never knew and is surprised by what she finds. It still doesn't make sense, though, especially the toxicology report, and Jess isn't going to give up.
There are several twists, and the reader is taken in different directions along with Jess. I admired Jess's perseverance. And I enjoyed the developing friendship between Jess and Nick. I wish it could have turned out differently.
I think most readers will be surprised by the ending, which is always a good thing for a mystery. The characters are interesting and realistic. The pacing is excellent, and it makes The Window a quick read. Teens who enjoy a good mystery, including reluctant readers, should be pointed to The Window.

I love that more teen mystery/suspense/psychological thriller novels are being written. It's one of my favorite genres! This one looks especially good. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
