"Rear Window"-esque Plots (8 books)

Books on this list must meet at least one of the following criteria:
1. A perceived crime is seen through a window
2. A person confined to a room/apartment/house attempts to solve a mystery

Even better if the book meets both criteria, or if it actually mentions the classic movie Rear Window.
