Catherine
Ravenscroft inadvertently reads The
Perfect Stranger – a book on her nightstand that her husband claims isn’t
his. Somehow, someone connected with an event in her past came into her home
and left it there for her to read. And
her son, who hasn’t read a book in ages, has also read a copy of the book after
a customer at his job leaves one for him as a thank you. Terrified that her secret is about to come
out Catherine begins to investigate a man from her past to see how he could
possibly still have a hold over her present.
What I
liked best about this book was the twist on a twist construction. My perception of the main character, and
other characters, changed multiple times over course of the story as new truths
were revealed. And the ending is
especially enlightening since it explains the tension between two characters
that I didn’t understand. This is one of
those books that manages to tie up loose ends that you didn’t even know were
things that needed closure. Any thriller
reader will enjoy this book but make sure you stick with it, if you’re like me
you’ll be annoyed with the main character and her over the top reactions, but
reactions that are completely warranted once you know the whole story.
