    Mystery at It's Best!

    I have not read a book in a long time, and boy, this was a great choice! It kept me reading, chapter after chapter, I did not want to put the book down. The story was done so well, mysterious yet understandable, you could almost see in your mind, each main character as you read the book. And I have to say just when you thought that the ending was complete, you got another thrill, so that was perfect! Yes, I would recommend "A Stranger in the House" for anyone to read, you will not be disappointed! I hope to read another of Sheri Lapena's books soon! Happy Reading and Happy Fall!
