John Marrs does it again!
I got to read this book as part of a readalong with Tandem Collective, (thank you to tandem for my copy) and I was so excited to get into this one as I've been a huge John Marrs fan for a while now as his thrillers always keep me on the edge of my seat and The Stranger In Her House was no different.
With nice short chapters and a gripping plot line I was hooked from the very start. The main characters were so awful and unreliable I had absolutely no idea what to believe in and all of the twists and turns had me guessing the whole time. Then towards the end of part 2 of the book I finally thought I knew everything that was going on only to have my mind blown all over again in part 3!
If you're looking for a fast paced and twisty thriller then I cannot recommend this or any of John's other books enough!
