Book Overview
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Another thrilling domestic suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door and Not a Happy Family
"A Stranger in the House will have you sleeping with the lights on for weeks." --Bustle "Smart and suspenseful . . . you'll never see the ending coming." --PureWow
In this neighborhood, danger lies close to home.
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. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Fun read, keeps you guessing
Well paced, keeps you guessing.. You might think you know the twist/ending but you'll be wrong!

This one is wild! You almost need charts and graphs to keep the #PlotTwists straight!
The length of each chapter is perfect with regard to keeping the reader's undivided attention anxiously waiting to see what's on the next page. Nearly every chapter ends with some sort of cliffhanger, so you're sure to have this book with you wherever you may be until you're done reading it! I almost needed a full day to process and recover after I finished the book! Just when you think you've figured out what's going on, you turn the page and find out another detail that has you back at square one. (The only thing that kept eating at me was the fact that an establishment in the book has "Cruikshank" in part of its name. Each time I read that it made me think of Hermione Granger's pet cat, Crookshanks in The Harry Potter Series.)

Not my favorite
A story where everyone hates their spouse and the relationships intertwine which makes everyone hate everyone else. The ending felt like a bit of a cliffhanger for a second book I probably wouldn’t be able to get through. Most twists were very predictable and seemed like they were just handed to the reader instead of making the reader think. The characters were all unlikable which I think was intentional but the story seemed to drag for no reason. Disappointed in this story.
