The Second Stranger by Martin Griffin
4.0

Thank you to NetGalley for my proof copy of The Second Stranger. The book will be available from 19/01/2023.

ONE DETECTIVE. ONE MURDERER. BUT WHICH IS WHICH?

Based on the first pages, I thought that this was going to have a slow start. But it actually picked up really fast and the atmosphere became really creepy.

✨Here’s what I enjoyed:

✨Put Scotland, snow and a remote location together and there you have my perfect atmosphere for a good thriller.
✨Don Gaines One and Don Gaines Two - both seem to be in the wrong and both have the antagonist flare. I can’t say much without giving away anything too spoilery. But I can say that I was wrong about who the escapee was.
✨The ending is very satisfying.
