Fast-paced and highly addictive. This was a great debut from Lisa M. Matlin. I found myself eagerly turning the page with each twist of the plot and the impending doom that awaits on the next page.

The Stranger Upstairs delivers with surprising turns, an overarching sense of deed, and even a bit of dark humor.

If you’re in the market for a debut psychological thriller, check this out.
