 The Second Stranger by Martin Griffin was a random audiobook I chose when I was itching to listen to something.  This story takes place across the pond in Great Britian during the winter.  The main character is working her last night as a hotel clerk when a large storm hits.  Two men enter the hotel both claiming to be a policeman and there was another man at large who was a murderer.  She must decide which of the two men was the killer.  

I enjoyed listening to this story told from the hotel clerk’s perspective.  It kept me interested throughout the entire book.  I may have listened to it later than I should on some nights.  So far, all the random audiobooks I have chosen have been very good.  This is one keeps that streak going.  If you like a thriller or mystery, take a read or listen to this one.
