But I'm getting really tired of the unreliable narrator with a drinking problem. It's just something that I feel like I've read so many times (Girl on the Train, Woman in Cabin 10, etc).

It’s all very suspicious, but the deeper Anna goes, the less mentally stable she seems. Could it be that this was all in her head? Photo: Melinda Sue Gordon / Netflix Inc. What is The Woman in the Window plot twist? How does The Woman in the Window end? Realizing that he intends to kill her too, Anna flees. He pursues her to the roof where she pushes him through an old skylight to his death. Alistair is arrested as an accessory to Katie's murder, and Anna slowly starts her life over again. Toward the end of 2009, he was hired as a mid-level editor at Sphere, a commercial imprint of Little, Brown. In New York, news of this event caused puzzlement: an editor then at Ballantine recalled feeling that Mallory “hadn’t done enough” to earn such a position. This display was at times professionally effective. In a blog post written after signing with Little, Brown, Penny excitedly described Mallory as a former “Oxford professor of literature.” Referring to the bond between author and editor, she added, “It is such an intimate relationship, there needs to be trust.” The Woman in the Window treats a rather obvious plot element as a spoiler for most of the book, so I'll play coy too. It's about a woman called Anna who lives alone ever since separating from her husband and daughter. We're not told the circumstances of the separation, but we do know that Anna has a drinking problem and severe agoraphobia that prevents her from leaving the house.Somers, Erin (February 21, 2019).

Ethan also confesses that he killed before that, too—including his dad’s assistant, Pam—and had been planning to kill Anna since the time his family moved across the street. He watched Anna film her goodbye video and had been looking forward to watching her die. He’s a creepy little serial killer in the making! In a very Vertigo-esque sequence, Anna runs to the roof of her building. A tension-filled fight ensues, but, eventually, Anna gets the better of Ethan and pushes him through her glass sunroof. He falls and dies.

The essay sought to explain why Mallory’s performance as a master’s student at Oxford, a few years earlier, had been good but not brilliant. Mallory said that his studies had been disrupted by visits to America, to nurse his mother, who had breast cancer. Raine recalled, “He had a brother, who was mentally disadvantaged, and also had cystic fibrosis. The brother died while being nursed by him. And Dan was supporting the family as well. And the mother gradually died.” According to Raine, Mallory had described how his mother rejected the idea of suffering without complaint. Mallory often read aloud to her the passage in “ Little Women” in which Beth dies, with meek, tidy stoicism, so that his mother “could sneer at it, basically.”
