Parade, “The Most Anticipated Books of Summer 2019 ” and “The Best Beach Reads of Summer 2019” Good Housekeeping, “ Best New Books for Summer 2019″ PureWow “The Best Beach Reads of Summer 2019” BookBub “Books That Will Make the Perfect Addition to Your Beach Bag This Summer” The next heart-pounding thriller from New York Times bestselling author Riley Sager follows a young woman whose new job apartment sitting in one of New York’s oldest and most glamorous buildings may cost more than it pays. No visitors. No nights spent away from the apartment. No disturbing the other residents, all of whom are rich or famous or both. 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. Recently heartbroken and just plain broke, Jules is taken in by the splendor of her surroundings and accepts the terms, ready to leave her past life behind. As she gets to know the residents and staff of the Bartholomew, Jules finds herself drawn to fellow apartment sitter Ingrid, who comfortingly reminds her of the sister she lost eight years ago. When Ingrid confides that the Bartholomew is not what it seems and the dark history hidden beneath its gleaming facade is starting to frighten her, Jules brushes it off as a harmless ghost story . . . until the next day, when Ingrid disappears. Searching for the truth about Ingrid’s disappearance, Jules digs deeper into the Bartholomew’s sordid past and into the secrets kept within its walls. What she discovers pits Jules against the clock as she races to unmask a killer, expose the building’s hidden past, and escape the Bartholomew before her temporary status becomes permanent. ** Review “Move over Rosemary’s Baby, urban paranoia has a deliciously Gothic new address.” — Ruth Ware “The Bartholomew is an apartment building of terrifying secrets. You’ll find startling twists and alarming surprises down every dark hallway. It’s too late to lock the doors–the horror is already inside. My favorite thriller of the year!” — R.L. Stine, author of Goosebumps –“The author, writing under a pen name, relates ominous events and spooky developments with skill, adding an element of social commentary and a surprise twist ending—elevating this exercise in terror above the ordinary shocker.” — Wall Street Journal “Dedicated to Ira Levin, the prophetically titled Lock Every Door builds to a devastating finale that is more chilling_and believable_than Rosemary giving birth to the son of Satan. Sager uses the darkening atmosphere and the tiniest thing that goes bump in the night, for the utmost terror.” — Associated Press “A compulsively readable thriller. . . . Fans of Ira Levin, to whom the book is dedicated, will be delighted by Sager’s clever variation on a typical Levin plot.” — Publisher’s Weekly , starred review “Sager ( Final Girls ) delivers a psychological, creepy, and unputdownable thriller…Likable characters, great writing, just enough twists, and a Rosemary’s Baby vibe will make this a summer hit. Purchase for Stephen King and Gillian Flynn fans.” — Library Journal , starred review “[A] nightmarish thriller set against the backdrop of a Manhattan fairy tale.” — BookPage “All those sunny summer afternoons could use a little darkness. For a poolside thriller, check out Riley Sager’s Lock Every Door.” — Good Housekeeping , “25 Best New Books for Summer 2019” “Ready for another Riley Sager thriller? The Final Girls author’s latest, Lock Every Door , is a twisted, heart-pounding ride.” —PopSugar “Sager’s compulsive thrillers have become a highlight of the summer season, and Lock Every Door might well be the best yet.” — CrimeReads, “Most Anticipated Crime Books of Summer” “Sager’s third reinterpretation of iconic horror themes (following The Last Time I Lied , 2018) is an utterly riveting thriller that melds Rosemary’s Baby with Sager’s masterful storytelling.” — Booklist “Super eerie, this heart-pounding thriller from Riley
