A STRANGER IN THE HOUSE by
Shari Lapena is a brilliant and intriguing thriller I did not want to put
down. This action-packed thriller is an easy read and will have you
second guessing who did it. Page after page, you will find yourself on
the edge of your seat. This exciting start to the book sets the mood
and tone for the rest of this fast-paced thriller. Finding out what
happens may catch you off guard. I found this book to be very
suspenseful and entertaining. I truly did not see the ending coming.
Lapena writes in such a remarkable way that makes each page seem so
realistic. You will have cold chills run down your spine as certain scenes
play out. I highly recommend this book if you love action-packed
psychological thrillers.
In this neighborhood, danger lies close to home. A
domestic thriller packed full of secrets, and a twisty story
that never stops—from the bestselling author of The
Couple Next DoorHe looks at her, concerned. “How do you feel?”
She wants to say, Terrified. Instead, she
says, with a faint smile, “Glad to be
home."
Karen and Tom Krupp are happy—they’ve got a lovely home in
upstate New York, they’re practically newlyweds, and they
have no kids to interrupt their comfortable life together.
But one day, Tom returns home to find Karen has vanished—her
car’s gone and it seems she left in a rush. She even left
her purse—complete with phone and ID—behind.
There's a knock on the door—the police are there to take Tom
to the hospital where his wife has been admitted. She had a
car accident, and lost control as she sped through the worst
part of town.
The accident has left Karen with a concussion and a few
scrapes. Still, she’s mostly okay—except that she can’t
remember what she was doing or where she was when she
crashed. The cops think her memory loss is highly
convenient, and they suspect she was up to no good.
Karen returns home with Tom, determined to heal and move on
with her life. Then she realizes something’s been moved.
Something’s not quite right. Someone’s been in her house.
And the police won't stop asking questions.
Because in this house, everyone’s a stranger. Everyone has
something they’d rather keep hidden. Something they might
even kill to keep quiet.
