The Stranger Inside

De: Laura Benedict

Narrado por: Thérèse Plummer

A woman returns home to find a stranger living in her house in this "suspenseful and moving" psychological drama from an Edgar Award-nominated author (Meg Gardiner) -- perfect for readers of Shari Lapena and Liane Moriarty.
There's a stranger living in Kimber Hannon's house. He tells the police that he has every right to be there, and he has the paperwork to prove it. But Kimber definitely didn't invite this man to move in. He tells her that he knows something about her, and he wants everyone else to know it, too.
"I was there. I saw what you did." These words reveal a connection to Kimber's distant past, and dark secrets she'd long ago left buried. This trespasser isn't after anything as simple as her money or her charming Craftsman bungalow. He wants to move into her carefully orchestrated life -- and destroy it.

Flawed but still entertaining

The criticisms were spot on - narrator is too breathy; characters are obnoxious; and story is a bit weak. However, I found the book entertaining and listened until the end.

Worth it

I enjoyed this book. The story had a great pace. Nice twists and turns. I had a hard time rooting for the main character, she was a bit.... terrible. I came to adjust to her. I look forward to another book by this author.

when living double lives catch up with you

Chile...the drama! This book is juicy and full highs, and more highs. The betrayal is not what I expected at all, but a great read.

Enjoyable but...

It’s hard to fully like a book when the main character is so unlikeable. Performance was great.

Why whisper

read with a whisper really hard to listen too also kind of predictable just don't.

loved it!

Great story and the narrator did a wonderful job with the voices and applying inflection and tone at appropriate times. I really enjoyed this book.

Good book!

I love the narrator she is one of my favorites. The book itself was an enjoyable listen. The author had me wondering with a lot going on in the storyline.

Good book and excellent narration

The idea was good but the plot moves slowly. I had a bit of trouble sticking with it. The major character was headstrong and not likable. Twists were good.

good read

I enjoyed the story and appreciated the end. there is a surprise end. just as you think you know you really dont

Different - in a good way

This was a thoroughly enjoyable and suspenseful book. It was different in that I sure hadn’t figured it all out until the end. That makes a good read in my opinion.
