The Good Stranger by Dete Meserve
4.0

This was my first book I've read by this author and definitely won't be my last. The book wasn't what I had expected but I enjoyed the story thoroughly and found it to be a fast paced read. I liked the main characters drive to get to the bottom of who started the kindness gestures. I felt like this story was a breath of fresh air with the random acts of kindness spreading all over the city. The kindness and generosity in this story will definitely inspire you to spread more joy throughout your days. A very heart warming thought provoking read.

Kate Bradley, a tv reporter, has just moved to Manhattan when New York suddenly experiences a power outage. After the outage gifts and purple balloons are being left all over the city. Who's behind it? No one seems to know but Kate is determined to take this story on even if her boss doesn't seem to think it's a story. As Kate starts to investigate she starts receiving threatening messages to stop looking for the person behind the kind gestures. However Kate seems to be so invested in this that she's only a little concerned about the notes, that is until her apartment is robbed. Will Kate ever get the closure on this story she wants, or will the person behind it all stay a secret forever.
