The stranger in Room six is another suspenseful read by the author Jane Corry. 

Belinda wants to start a new life after been released from Prison after serving 15 years for murdering her husband, Gerald. She gets help faking a DBS certificate so she can get a job at the Sunnyside Care home in Devon where she meets the oldest resident Mable who is also the owner of the establishment.  Whilst in Prison Belinda became a Listener in prison listen and giving advice to several inmates. So, she has no problem communicating with her. Which gets Mabel talking about her life during the Second world war. Where secrets about her Aunt Clarissa and Uncle called ‘the Conel’ wherever found out someone might die. 

This was an interesting read about the two women from different generations and over all I did enjoy discovering the two women’s stories.  But with the two life stories going back and forth at times I felt sometimes a bit confusing.  But it did end it did have satisfying conclusion, 4 stars from me.
