Sheri, I hear you there - I would have been OUT. So, yes, there was a suspension of disbelief required on this one. It was sort of a quick guilty pleasure ;)
I thought that the book was excellent. Riley Sager is a very good author.

One reason I like book discussions. I enjoy hearing others opinions. It's more fun in person though.

It was definitely a page-turner for me, George. I liked it more than The Final Girls, so I need to check out some other stuff by Sager.

Most definitely! I can never seem to keep an in-person club going, though. People always start showing up without having read :(

I went to one at my local library for years and it was the same. People came without having read the book. Recently people come and want to argue with others who don't agree with their opinion of the book so I've stopped going. I noticed a few others stopped coming too and I imagine it was because of the same argumentative ones.

Summary
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.
