sandraleivesley 's review for:
The Second Stranger
by Martin Griffin
In a snowy, remote hotel in the Scottish Highlands with Storm Ezra on the way, Remie is working her last ever shift when she hears news that a prisoner has escaped from the nearby high security prison. There are only two guests in the hotel. Then an injured policeman, Don Gaines, comes to the door asking for assistance. Then another policeman arrives claiming that he is Don Gaines. One of them is a murderer and Remie has to work out who is who!
I enjoyed the first part of the book more than the second part. Once I found out who was who it became less interesting, though I admit I didn't see the twist at the end coming! Also I didn't particularly like Remie at first as some of her decisions were highly questionable, though by the end of the book I was warming to her a little. The setting is fabulous, and I could feel the isolation and sense of danger as the storm approached.
I enjoyed the narration by Tamsin Kennard.
