A review by hmbb99
The Stranger Behind You by Carol Goodman

2.0

I'm not sure how to rate this. The story starts off with a good premise, journalist taking down rich businessman who is a sexual predator. Then it changes to a story much like Rear Window or The Woman in the Window, when Joan starts having agoraphobia. Then it has a little historical fiction ghost story, Then it changes to a political mystery. There is just too much going on in this book. It's almost like Carol Goodman wasn't sure what genre she wanted to write about. I enjoyed Lillian's story more than the Joan and Melissa story. It seems like Goodman should have just written about a journalist writing novel. I really wanted to like this but it just wasn't for me.
Thanks to Netgalley and Harper's Collins for the advanced copy of the book. The opinions are my own.
