The unputdownable bestseller from Shari Lapena, author of THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR and EVERYONE HERE IS LYING

Why would you run scared from a happy home?

You're waiting for your beloved husband to get home from work.

You're making dinner, looking forward to hearing about his day.

That's the last thing you remember.

You wake up in hospital, with no idea how you got there. They tell you that you were in an accident; you lost control of your car whilst driving in a dangerous part of town.

The police suspect you were up to no good. But your husband refuses to believe it. Your best friend isn't so sure. And even you don't know what to believe . . .

Critic reviews

So many dizzying twists you'd better not drive after reading

The plot twists in Shari Lapena's A Stranger in the House made me shout "No!" out loud. Shari expertly traps you, confounds you and leaves you gasping at the end. More, please . . .

Smart, twisty and compulsive. Suspense and suspicion accumulate relentlessly, toying with your expectations and your emotions right up until the packs-a-punch ending. Don’t miss it, and don’t expect to be able to put it down

Hard to put down.

A smart and twisty thriller . . . It's taut, intelligent and compelling.

Tense.

Creeping sense of dread throughout . . . A firecracker of a plot twist.

Smart crime thriller packed with twists and turns which keep you guessing until a powerful ending that really packs a punch.

With its slow-burning plot and gradual, totally unpredictable reveal, this looks set to be another bestseller.

Dark and twisty.

A Stranger in the House

Wow, what a book, never stopped guessing until the very end, excellent! The narration was good too.

loved the narration

a Lil bit of a drag in between when Karen is arrested. Tom came across as a wimp that could be swayed either by his wife or Bridget.
