Publisher's summary

The Sunday Times best seller and Richard & Judy Book Club author of Sleep returns with her most gripping book yet.

Three strangers. Three secrets. And one big lie.

First there’s Ursula. Unable to face up to the tragedy that consumes her, her world has shrunk to an almost unrecognisable state. But a string of missing people—and her housemate’s permanently locked basement door—set off a chain of events that she soon has no control over.

Then Alice, who’s in the first flush of her relationship with Simon, a man she met by chance, and who seems perfectly normal—except that he flinches at the slightest touch.

And Gareth, who lives a humdrum life as he struggles to cope with his mum’s increasing dementia. She can’t remember much about her days—not even when a postcard from his long-dead father comes through the door.

None of these three strangers have ever met, but their worlds will soon collide in the most dramatic way possible, as the lie that has been told is finally answered for....

The master of suspense is back! Prepare yourself for the latest nail-shredding, heart-in-mouth roller coaster ride from the Sunday Times best seller.

Strangers

So glad I got this book, loved it from beginning to end. Loved the characters, loved the solving of the murders and the suspense. The narration was excellent. Will definitely be reading more from this author.

Clare Corbett brings story to life!

I loved the story, kept me hooked! The narration was brilliant as usual. I didn’t want it to end. I’d love another book, Strangers part 2 ?

Edit

In my review I mentioned I had just finished another “killer”😉 book by C. L. and it took me a couple try’s to get into this one. The book I had finished was Her Last Holiday and I really enjoyed that one maybe more. Just wanted to add that in, in case someone wanted to know .

Love my Brit mysteries! One of the best ever!

The majority of my audiobooks are British and for good reason. Penned by brilliant author C.L. Taylor and presented by accomplished narrator Clare Corbett, I devoured this book in record time. Taylor’s writing style (a favorite of mine) of bringing several different subplots together makes for a delightful listen. Going from one plot to another, we are treated to a rollercoaster ride of chilling thrills, jaw-dropping moments, creative plot twists and other dimensions to this book. I anxiously followed “Strangers” to see how this ensemble cast will be brought together. Then BAM! What a shocker of an ending! From one extreme to another, I listened intently. No multitasking here. I’ve already searched for more by this well-paired and talented duo. I cannot stress it enough ~ highly recommended.
