Hidden Strangers

De: Minka Kent

Narrado por: Renata Friedman

A desperate mother on the run becomes entangled in family secrets, lies, and murder in a chilling novel of suspense from Minka Kent, the Thriller Award–nominated author of Unmissing.

After a series of unsettling events, Camille Prescott is on the run from her dangerous husband. With their two small children in tow, she flees to the Chicago estate of her estranged and manipulative mother, Lucinda—the last place anyone would think to find her.

Inside the sprawling manse, Camille meets Lucinda’s new husband, Rob McClindon—wealthy, aging, and in rapidly declining health—and Zoey, their unnervingly observant teenage daughter. Then there’s Evan, the mysterious tenant living above the garage.

The longer Camille stays, the faster the household’s facade cracks. Rob worsens. Lucinda’s hospitality borders on disturbing. Zoey’s late-night behavior raises unsettling questions. Evan’s stories don’t quite add up. Then a note appears under her pillow: You’re not safe here.

Someone in the McClindon house wants her gone. Someone else wants her trapped. One of them has already chosen her fate.

Camille survived her childhood. She survived her marriage. But surviving the strangers she calls family is another story entirely.

I want more.

I really liked this but after the mystery was solved and everything was out in the open, it seemed disjointed and the ending was rushed. There was a way to extend this into another book and the author chose to wrap it up here. I feel that was a mistake. I’m giving it the highest rating because this one really sucked me in and I enjoyed it immensely right up until the part it went off the rails and careened towards the finish line. It was a great trilogy.

Nice story

I like the story a lot and the performance was nice but the performers says words strangely and it sets off my ADHD lol!
Pool, school, rule, anything with that oo sound she turns into two syllables. Poo-uhl, schoo-uhl, roo-uhl. This is probably in my top five favorite Kent books.

Couldn’t wait for the next !

Nothing is was more than entertaining twists /turns great book series fantastic narration,great characters, love it

Enjoyed very much!!!

Highly recommend the trilogy!!!!! Kinda sad it’s over. Maybe Zoe’s story needs a series! I would love that
