Though the two women live just a few doors apart, a chasm lies between them.

Before long, sheтАЩs collecting cast-off items from the actressтАЩs stoop and fantasizing about sleeping with the actressтАЩs husband. After a disastrous interaction with the actress at the annual block party, what began as an innocent preoccupation turns into a stunningтАФand irrevocableтАФunraveling.
A riveting portrait of obsession, Looker is тАЬa sugarcoated poison pill of psychological terrorтАЭ (The Wall Street Journal) and an immersive and darkly entertaining readтАФтАЬby the end youтАЩll be gaspingтАЭ (People).
