The
Stranger Inside
by
Published September 17th 2019 by Park Row
Even good
people are drawn to do evil things ... Twelve-year-old Rain Winter narrowly
escaped an abduction while walking to a friend's house. Her two best friends,
Tess and Hank, were not as lucky. Tess never came home, and Hank was held in
captivity before managing to escape. Their abductor was sent to prison but
years later was released. Then someone delivered real justice—and killed him in
cold blood.
Now Rain is living the perfect suburban life, her dark childhood buried deep. She spends her days as a stay-at-home mom, having put aside her career as a hard-hitting journalist to care for her infant daughter. But when another brutal murderer who escaped justice is found dead, Rain is unexpectedly drawn into the case. Eerie similarities to the murder of her friends' abductor force Rain to revisit memories she's worked hard to leave behind. Is there a vigilante at work? Who is the next target? Why can't Rain just let it go?
Introducing one of the most compelling and original killers in crime fiction today, Lisa Unger takes readers deep inside the minds of both perpetrator and victim, blurring the lines between right and wrong, crime and justice, and showing that sometimes people deserve what comes to them.

My Thoughts…
What a thriller! I picked up Lisa Unger’s book and was hoping
for something that would pull me in, keep me up at night having to read, and
leave me wanting more. The Stranger
Inside is all that and more.
The characters
are so wonderful. They have gone
through a hell that no one should have to and are now living with what happened
to them. Rain has tried to find a
normal life, a life that fulfills her, with her wonderful husband and her beautiful
daughter but is unable to entirely put her childhood behind her. Hank is also struggling. They both have careers that fulfill them but
something is missing. The closure of
what happened to them is not there.
I had a clue as
to who the vigilante was but I never saw the rest of the story coming. I was so in awe of what else was going
on. The clues were there, the story was
being told perfectly, and I was so into the story that I never saw how it would
all come together.
Lisa Unger
wrote an amazing story that pulled me in, kept me turning pages, and left me
wanting so much more.
