I was a bit hesitant about this book (which is actually a novella). It is set up like the story told in the movie Rear Window. Now that was a great movie but did I want to read a story that is similar? It turns out the answer is a resounding Yes! This is the story of Tess who is bedridden at the end of her pregnancy. She has nothing to do but read and look out the window at the park where she is particularly aware of a girl in a green raincoat walking a dog. Tess sees the pair everyday, until one day when she sees the dog alone dragging its green leash behind. She becomes obsessed with finding the dog and the girl. Since she can't leave her bed she depends on her boyfriend and best friend to do the investigating for her. I have to say that this book was fun to read! A little mystery and great characters.
