Lock Every Door

Product Information

Electronic locks are primarily operated by magnets or motors, which are controlled by an electric current. So when the opportunity to apartment sit at the Bartholomew - and earn a few thousand dollars in the process - falls into her lap, it’s too good for her not to take it.

Sager brilliantly laces this psychological suspense novel with little suggestions of the otherworldly; could the Bartholomew be home to forces beyond Jules’ understanding? My skull feels like a snow globe recently shaken, swirling with important bits of information that have yet to land. His first thriller, FINAL GIRLS, won the ITW Thriller Award for Best Hardcover Novel and has been published in more than thirty countries. Not only is the twelfth floor apartment luxurious and spacious but it’s in a prime location on the Upper West side, overlooking Central Park. Sager’s ability to build tension and maintain a sense of unease makes his writing style genuinely immersive and compelling.You should also consider having the lock altered on your car, if your car keys were also on your keychain. Even though most of the book takes place over a 5 day period, It’s a slow burn, with Jules excitement and gratefulness over scoring such a fantastic apartment morphing into fight or flight, her fear increasing the deeper she delves into the dark recesses of The Bartholomew. But she desperately needs the money and she’s always wanted to live there since she was a little girl so it seems like a win/win situation.

An intruder could have taken your spare key while they were in your home, in which case they will easily be able to gain access to the property again in the future. 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.Some lever handle locks can be forced open under pressure, but many manufacturers are countering this with a clutch mechanism, which prevents pressure from damaging the lock structure. If you opt for this door lock type, it is strongly advised that you keep a key attached to a hook close to the inside of the door for emergencies. Unrelentingly eerie and supremely stylish, this book had me in its grip from the first page until its shockingly twisted conclusion. The author’s vivid descriptions and attention to detail help to establish a chilling and claustrophobic atmosphere that adds to the suspense of the story. Riley Sager is the New York Times bestselling author of seven novels, most recently THE HOUSE ACROSS THE LAKE and SURVIVE THE NIGHT.

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. Padlocks are easily recognizable portable locks that can be fixed to a door, gate, chain, or fence, to secure a space and prevent theft or vandalism. The power imbalances within the building contribute to the suspense and tension of the novel, as Jules navigates the dynamics and confronts the consequences of these inequalities.The pacing is tight, ensuring that the suspense never wavers, while the carefully plotted twists and turns add layers of intrigue and mystery. Readers are kept on their toes, questioning the trustworthiness of the protagonist’s observations and experiences. However, you can never guarantee that all of their old keys are now in your possession, and it’s impossible to know if there are people out there with keys to your home.
