Stranger on the Shore by Josh Lanyon
5.0
4.5
What a well done mystery. This book has this old school out of touch wealthy family, mixed in with slight noir and wholly influenced by The Great Gadsby, that flows in throughout the whole book.
Griff comes into town to write a book on the mysterious kidnapping that had happened 20 years ago from an incredibly wealthy family estate. He’s met with Pierce, the family lawyer and a hard man to read. There’s a quality about him Griff is both intrigued by and suspicious of. Strange things begin to happen and it seems personal. Griff has a strong connection to the mystery, a pull to the town, a seemingly too quick love for Pierce and it unnerves him as the story begins to unravel.
I don’t know if it was because of how great the reader was for the audio, but I was completely hooked on Griff’s investigative journey and I was surprised by the ending. I mean you know the answer is right there, but you just can’t put you’re finger on it. Great reading and great individual voices for each character. Probably just the mixture of good writing a good reader.
I really enjoy how Lanyon writes her mysteries. And I love it when her mysterious men turn out to be so romantic when they finally spill their feelings.
