If you’re in need of an easy read over the holidays, Shari Lapena never disappoints. I really enjoyed A Stranger in the House. Per usual for Shari, the characters were interesting and the plot took a few twists and turns. I read every night for about twenty minutes and this book had me excited to climb into bed. I got through it quickly and didn’t want it to end. If anyone reads this, I’d love to discuss the ending!

A Stranger in the House

Here’s what Amazon has to say:

Karen and Tom Krupp are happy—they’ve got a lovely home in upstate New York, they’re practically newlyweds, and they have no kids to interrupt their comfortable life together. But one day, Tom returns home to find Karen has vanished—her car’s gone and it seems she left in a rush. She even left her purse—complete with phone and ID—behind.

There’s a knock on the door—the police are there to take Tom to the hospital where his wife has been admitted. She had a car accident, and lost control as she sped through the worst part of town.

The accident has left Karen with a concussion and a few scrapes.  Still, she’s mostly okay—except that she can’t remember what she was doing or where she was when she crashed. The cops think her memory loss is highly convenient, and they suspect she was up to no good. 

Karen returns home with Tom, determined to heal and move on with her life. Then she realizes something’s been moved. Something’s not quite right. Someone’s been in her house. And the police won’t stop asking questions.

Because in this house, everyone’s a stranger. Everyone has something they’d rather keep hidden. Something they might even kill to keep quiet.

I’ve read almost all of Shari Lapena’s books and I’ve yet to be disappointed. If you’ve got a reader on your shopping list this holiday season, add this to your cart now! Get it here: https://amzn.to/3FFFuQi
