A suspense mystery novel that totally had me shocked at the
end, THE STRANGER INSIDE will leave you hunted days after
finishing it! A little prediction while reading this one is
expected, but more likely you will not see the end coming.
This is great mystery writing at its best and Jennifer
Jaynes did a remarkable job. No wonder she is USA Today's
Bestselling Author with a suspenseful storyline like this!
The characters are like your next-door neighbors and you
never know what skeletons that they might be hiding. The
main character Diane is like any other mother wanting what
is best for her children. Jaynes did a great job with making
this mother loving and caring but firm when she needs to be.
Then there are parts where you find yourself even wondering
what you would do in her shoes!
Diane is a well-known writer whose husband recent suicide
led her to mover her son and herself to Massachusetts where
her daughter is in college. With this fresh start, she hopes
to reconnect with her depressed daughter who does not
communicate with her. Alexa tries to avoid her mother as
much as possible leaving Diane on edge most of the time
after young girls on campus are being murdered. This is too
close to home for Diane who also fills some evenings helping
at the local crisis hotline where she gets calls from
someone claiming to be the killer. They know things before
the news reports them. Diane is trying to find out whom she
can trust and whom she can't as everyone in this town seems
questionable. In the end, the answers she seeks are more
than she bargained for.
This is tops on my list of amazing suspense thrillers! THE
STRANGER INSIDE will not disappoint and has me wanting to
read more of Jennifer Jaynes' novels.
After mystery author Diane Christie loses her husband to
suicide, she and her son move to the small coastal town
of Fog Harbor, Massachusetts. Her daughter is attending
college nearby, and Diane hopes that her family can now
begin to heal. But rebuilding their lives after the
tragedy isn’t so simple.
Diane’s depressed college-age daughter, Alexa, still
avoids her, critical of everything Diane does, and even
her generally amiable teenage son, Josh, has started
acting out. Diane pushes forward, focusing on her writing
and her volunteer work at a local crisis hotline. She
knows that healing takes time.
But then a girl from Alexa's college is found strangled.
Worse still, the murderer uses the crisis hotline to
confess to Diane . . . and claims she is the only one who
can stop the killing. And just when the glow of new love
from an attractive admirer begins to chase away some of
the darkness, more girls turn up dead, and Diane races to
solve a mystery she fears will hit terrifyingly close to
home.
