An entertaining thriller.  Lots of Levinesquery.  A woman in a new home betrayed by someone unexpected.  Couple of nice touches in the writing.  Early when she’s being watched by CCTV but doesn’t know it and the point of view moves without a break between watcher and watched.  Not as many nice touches as you’d expect from Levin, perhaps.  This could have been the length of Stepford Wives.  Pleasing ending with real tension.
