Publisher's summary

Rachel Marin is in a good place. After years of struggle, the single mother has found both a stable, loving relationship and a new purpose: putting her investigative skills to work solving crimes for the local PD. But just as the pieces of her life are finally starting to fall into place, her teenaged son’s teacher is gruesomely murdered, starting a domino effect that shatters her peaceful existence.

When Rachel discovers an ominous email the teacher sent to her just before his death, she knows she must help bring his killer to justice. But soon a figure from her past reappears, threatening to expose Rachel’s darkest secrets if she doesn’t tread lightly. And when her son is recruited by a shadowy businessman who may be connected to the murder, Rachel knows this has just gotten very, very personal.

Someone out there is dead set on keeping this grisly cover-up good and buried, which means if Rachel’s not careful, it’s only a matter of time before her dream life becomes her worst nightmare.

Critic reviews

“Beneath the brutality in this suspenseful thriller lie bone-deep fear and a genuine concern for justice.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“A Stranger at the Door is a worthy successor to Hide Away in the Rachel Marin series. Chilling and suspenseful, a page turner in the best sense.” (William Landay, New York Times best-selling author of Defending Jacob)

Awesome!

This 2 book series from author Jason Pinter is one of the best I’ve read in a very long time!!
The narrator is also spot on!!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Great new author

Jason Pinter is a favorite new author…and narrator is as good as the story.

Not as good as first book

I really enjoyed the first book. Rachel‘s character in the second book was whiny and sometimes condescending to the wrong people. I admired Rachel’s intelligence and physical abilities in the first book, but when she throws a tantrum because the detectives have to arrest someone who murdered two people, I lost respect for her character. Did she really think these detectives had the authority to “not arrest” a murderer? Of course not. I hope there will be a third book and Rachel’s character goes back to being the smartest person in the room not the person with the smartest mouth.

Enjoyed overall.

Thought storyline was a bit to long. I was tired of the main character . Felt she was a bit to eager to fight all the time.

Liked it!

Another great story by Jason Pinter. Kept me interested to the end. Interesting
characters. Good story. Looking forward to reading more by this author.

Loved the series

The second book was just as good as the first if not better. I really enjoyed the suspense of these books and the continued development of the main family. Highly recommend both books in this series.

Love this series

I really enjoyed this series. My only critique is the fact that he goes too much into detail about what happened in the previous book. We didn’t need that long of a play by play. You don’t really have to read the previous book to love this story, but it helps character build. I really enjoy the characters and I hope he continues with these characters.

Great series

I was on the hunt for a hood listen after blowing through all Karin Slaughters series. I listened to both books in this series in 2 days so that should tell you I couldn’t stop listening. I got a lot of house work done ( that’s a plus).

Wow!

Great series! Love characters Rachel Marin and her children!! Her struggles are real! Fantastic narration done by Angela Dawe👌

Awesome series..

Excellent murder mystery but I don't understand where the name of the book came from. No stranger went to any door in the entire story. HUH!>>>>>>>>>>

I do like Rachel Marin. She can really kick some ass. Serrano and Tally are great cops, too. And Evie was one of those characters you didn't know if you liked or not. The Spivak brothers were definite sociopath's. Overall, I loved every word of this book.>>>>>>>>>>

Some romance and the F-bomb was used 2 times.>>>>>>>>>>

As for the narration: Angela Dawe is a wonderful narrator, with voices and emotions.
