Just finished the book and I have to say it is just as good or maybe better than the last two books. When I first started the book I thought it would be that usual plot of someone taking a chance on something free and easy. Thankfully I was wrong, very wrong. This is a wonderful twisty thriller. Read this and you'll see.

Riley Sager is now three for three in delivering a taut and suspenseful page turner that is sure to blow your mind. Remember, when something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Jules is twenty-something, lonely, and broke in NYC, struggling to come to grips with a tragic past that devastated her family. When she is given an opportunity that seems too good to be true, she jumps at it. Spending twelve weeks as a house sitter in a famous Manhattan apartment building, the Bartholomew? Who wouldn't take that job? The best part....Jules will be paid twelve thousand dollars. Against warnings from friends, Jules jumps at the opportunity. At first, all seems to be going well. Jules even befriends another house sitter in the building, Ingrid. Although Ingrid regales Jules with creepy tales of the Bartholomew, Jules does not take the stories too seriously. That is.....until Ingrid disappears without a trace. As Jules searches for Ingrid, she begins to uncover sinister secrets about the Bartholomew and those who live there. It begins to come abundantly clear that the residents of the building have something to hide. Something that they will protect at all costs....but what?

Awesome book. I was hooked on Riley Sager's debut novel, Final Girls, and her third novel rates right up there. The author did an excellent job of taking the reader in one direction, but the shocking climax of the story was completely unexpected. I honestly did not see any of the late plot twists coming. If you love thrillers or mysteries, you certainly won't be disappointed with Sager's latest novel of nefarious deeds.

Riley Sager does not disappoint! I just finished Lock Every Door and simply put, it was spectacular! Being that it’s a mystery/thriller, I don’t want to touch on details, but I will say you need to prepare to be completely wow’ed! As soon as I finished, I literally sat in a daze for at least a half hour just reflecting on what an epic, well thought out storyline Riley had written. There are so many perfectly timed twists and turns that I never saw coming —LOVE THAT! There are so many things I want to say, but I don’t want to run the risk of giving even the littlest spoiler- I can’t wait until ya’ll read it so I can have an in-depth convo about this 5+++ star read...the struggle is real!!! Riley Sager has a forever fan in me and I will read every single book he writes!!!

Jules has a dark past, one from which she has been running since she lost everyone and everything that mattered to her in her life. When she is laid off from her job and catches her boyfriend cheating on her, she finds herself broke without a place to live.

But then an amazing job opportunity appears in the local newspaper, one that Jules can't believe is real. The job involves housesitting a posh loft in Bartholomew, a historic building in a very upscale neighborhood. What's even more incredible about the job is that it pays 12k: money that Jules desperately needs.

Jules takes it without hesitation despite the fact that there are a number of red flags. The building is known to be haunted and has its own mysterious past, one that involves numerous residents' deaths and disappearances. Jules is asked to follow a strict set of rules while living in the loft. These rules include no guests, no leaving the loft overnight, and no talking to the residents of the buildings. These rules seem weird to her one and only best friend, who encourages her to stay with her until she gets a new job and some money in her bank account.

The weirdness doesn't stop there. Jules makes friends with two of the residents (which is against the rules) who are also professional housesitters at the Bartholomew, and soon thereafter one of them disappears under suspicious circumstances. Jules' boss says that her friend who disappeared gave notice and left in the middle of the night, but Jules doesn't buy it. She starts investigating her friend's disappearance and finds that no one has seen or heard from her. What Jules discovers about the Bartholomew is even worse than the ghost stories people tell about the building, but can she reveal the building and its residents' crimes before it's too late for her and the other housesitters?

I loved this book - the pacing was fantastic. It read like a classic Agatha Christie novel for the modern age. I loved Sager's last two books, too, but I think this one is even better than the last two. If you enjoy thrillers, I highly recommend Lock Every Door. Sager clearly has another hit on his hands with this one! Thank you to Riley Sager, Penguin/Dutton, and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy!

This is my favorite Riley Sager novel! Wow! My head was spinning, my spine was tingling, and the hairs on the back of my neck were standing up! This is an excellent, addicting read and I devoured it within a day! This is going to be the THRILLER of the year- I just know it!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of Lock Every Door. Riley Sager is my absolute favorite author, so I was extremely excited to get the chance to read this book before it is published. Sager is a mastermind in the thriller genre, and I can't sing his praises enough. This book truly kept me on the edge of my seat, and the last 150 pages had me reading as quickly as I possibly could. With likable lead characters and enticing plots, you really can't get any better than Sager. Lock Every Door didn't disappoint and I will recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Another absolutely amazing Riley Sager thriller! Boy does he ever have the gift. I could not put this one down and cannot wait to recommend it to our library thriller fans!

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to preview Lock Every Door by Riley Sager. I have read all of Riley Sager's books - This is the best. I was instantly hooked by the end of the first chapter. This is eerie, dark, vivid, and haunting. I couldn't help but feel reminents of Rosemary''s Baby as one of the main characters in this book is a building - The Baltimore, in the heart of NY City.
The story begins with a young woman who has been in an accident - and she is terrified. She knows she has been in an accident, but her memory cannot be conjured. She just knows she had to get away....
Cut to a week beforethe acciident, and this young woman, Jules, tells her story. She has just lost her boyfriend, her home, and has no money. But an opportunity has come up and she shares it with her best friend, Clohe. She is going to housesit at the famous Baltimore building for 12 weeks and for that she will be paid twelve thousand dollars. All she has to do is follow the rules of the Baltimore, and those rules are "killer".
From start to finish, this book will keep you guessing and praying that Jules will survive her new job while those around her keep disappearing.
My favorite book this year - 5 stars!!!!!!

Riley Sager does NOT disappoint! This was such an intriguing slow burn thriller that had a definitely Hitchcock vibe. And while it didn’t have quite the shocking ending that The Last Time I Lied did, the story was so creative and compelling. It was such a unique plot, I found myself completely blown away by the end.

I love the way he weaves a more blank-slate heroine with intense courage and strength. He develops his protagonists so well, and I end up connecting with them more because of it.

I am so grateful to Dutton Books & Netgalley for the opportunity to read on of my most anticipated books of the year in exchange for an honest review.

Prior to reading Lock Every Door by Riley Sager, I went through one of those spells where every single book I tried to read did not resonate with me. I don’t know if it was my mood or the writing or the plot, but I think I went through about seven novels that I just couldn’t get into. And then I started this one and it reaffirmed my love for a good book!

I always appreciate a fresh plot that I haven’t seen before and this book delivers.

Jules Larsen has nothing. No one. She’s down on her luck and needs a place to stay. So when she comes across an opportunity to stay at the famous apartment building, the Barthelemew, she jumps at the chance despite the strangely strict rules that are enforced for residents.

Staying at this glamorous apartment and being paid to live there as an apartment sitter is better than what Jules could have ever imagined. But all is not what it seems as Jules begins to discover. The fast pace of this book kept me reading into the late hours of the night.

I didn’t hesitate to give this book five big stars over on Goodreads.

Here’s the synopsis:

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, disturbingly 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 dark past and into the secrets kept within its walls. Her discovery that Ingrid is not the first apartment sitter to go missing at the Bartholomew 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.



I especially liked how the story never sags in the middle or towards the end. Sometimes authors are eager to wrap up the story and things fall flat but this one is heart pounding all the way until the very last page.

Lock Every Door is going to be an instant best seller!

Due out July 2 2019.

Lock Every Door is a thriller book I couldn’t put down until the last page. Riley Sagar unfolds the story in an unique timeline. The story begins with a young woman, Jules, who is injured and receiving medical care. The author draws the reader into her past as well as into the present and the future. Jules finds herself laid off from her job in New York City . She needs the money from apartment sitting In an old but prestigious building, the Bartholomew. However, the dream apartment and building have secrets that Jules attempts to uncover after one of the apartment sitters goes missing. Riley Sagar introduces other characters that come to life through the interactions Jules has with them. The tension continues to increase throughout the book so that it is impossible not to keep reading. This is a book fans of mysteries and thrillers will enjoy.

"One time is an anomaly. Two times is a coincidence. Three times is proof." After living with constant loss throughout her life, Jules is willing to put up with anything to make ends meet. Well... almost anything. The mystery behind New York’s luxurious Bartholomew and the big paycheck to be an apartment sitter is what kicks off this phenomenal story. If Jules follows a couple of rules, she’s told her 3-month stay will be just fine. But she soon realizes, nothing is what it seems. I was 100% positive I had the ending all figured out and then Riley Sager flips everything and surprises the hell out of me. Fantastic book from beginning to end! Honestly, whatever I string together to describe how amazing this book is would be putting it lightly. The sheer talent this author has of developing characters that bring such unique plots to life is truly a skill to be envied. I must admit, this is my favorite of his books, hands down. Pick up this summer read and get ready to cancel all plans and press pause on your life.

Sager has become a must-read author for me. The third book under this pen name is just as compelling as the previous two titles. What’s so fun is that each book is so different and each idea is extremely fresh. The book takes place in an historic apartment building across from Central Park and even though it’s a fictional place, I swear after reading this book it feels like I once lived there myself.
It’s a place where things go bump in the night and people disappear without a trace. To say more would be a disservice to any fan of a good mystery. In the clutter of so many Gone Girl clones this one stands above the noise by being something completely different and totally compelling.

This is my second Riley Sager novel and I’m definitely a fan. I loved the old New York building, which was as much a character as it was the setting. This one is a slow burn full of misleading twists and turns and a shocking conclusion.

New York City, the perfect apartment, the perfect house sitting arrangement, the perfect pay, what could possibly go wrong? If you're already a fan of Riley Sager and his unique brand of psychological thrillers than you already know that this is all the perfect combination of circumstances to keep you on the edge of your seat and dying to find out what is going on beneath the surface in his latest book, Lock Every Door. The thriller follows the young and seemingly naive Jules as she soon discovers her new gig apartment sitting at one of Manhattan's most elite buildings is not all that it seems to be. In true Riley Sager fashion you will continually keep yourself second guessing what will happen next and trying to figure out which characters will betray you in this fast paced, unputdownable thriller.

Oh my gosh. This was perfect. My favorite Riley Sager so far. LOVE. At a certain point in the story, I thought the story was going to be too similar to the book written by the author in the dedication page...then it went a totally different direction! I just loved this and it went an incredibly dark direction by the end.

Sager does such an amazing job tapping into some of our biggest fears. I love how in each of his novels he takes on urban legend style fears and turns them on their head revealing different facets of human nature. Lock Every Door is a pulse pounding thriller. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

I have loved all of Riley Sager's books so far and this was no exception. I thought that Jules was such an awesome MC and I was very intrigued to find out why all this stuff was happening. The ending was a bit weird and that's why I didnt give it a full 5 stars but I still highly recommend.

Another fun, absorbing novel that is a perfect homage to Ira Levin, and also a terrific beach read. I read it on a plane, and the pages flew.

Riley Sager won me over with Final Girls...but he managed to make it towards the top of my must read authors list with Lock Every Door. Every time I thought I had it figured out, another twist would happen and I’d be set off in another direction. While I have to admit that I can’t buy all of the storyline...I can suspend some disbelief simply because I enjoyed this book so much. I noticed a few grammatical errors which I’m sure will be ironed out before final publication. I will say this...Sager is ironically creating his own list of final girls with every book he publishes...and I can’t wait to meet the next one.
