The Stranger in the Mirror

A Novel

By: Liv Constantine

Narrated by: Suzanne Elise Freeman, Maggi-Meg Reed, Jeremy Arthur

A diabolically twisty, psychologically unsettling novel about a woman with no recollection of her past from the authors of the Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick The Last Mrs. Parrish and The Wife Stalker.

"Jaw-dropping twists with an unsettling edge that you’ll need a few days at the beach to recover." (Reese's Book Club)

Addison’s about to get married, but she’s not looking forward to the big day. It’s not her fiancé; he’s a wonderful man. It’s because Addison doesn't know who she really is. A few years ago, a kind driver found her bleeding next to a New Jersey highway and rescued her. While her physical wounds healed, Addison’s memory never returned. She doesn’t know her real name. Or how she ended up injured on the side of a road. Or why she can’t shake the notion that she may have done something very, very bad....

In a posh home in the Boston suburbs, Julian tries to figure out what happened to his loving, caring wife, Cassandra, who disappeared without a trace two years ago. She would never have left him and their seven-year-old daughter Valentina of her own free will - or would she?

As these two lives intersect, The Stranger in the Mirror hooks readers with riveting drama, told with Liv Constantine’s hallmark blend of glamour, tense psychological thrills, and jaw-dropping twists.

I can’t get past the male narrator

The male narrator doing a child’s voice is so ridiculous and annoying that I can’t finish the book. Also the premise is so unbelievable that it ruins it. Like there’s an extremely simple fix that could have prevented everything in this story from happening. There’s literally a missing person database for this reason…

Hard to suspend disbelief

Well, that was a wild (and sometimes predictable, sometimes unbelievable) ride. The character choices seem bizarre in places, and also very rushed. Acting was great. 3 stars doe the book; 5 stars for the actors.

Twisted!

Such a great story. Complex and believable characters. Great twist and truly impossible to stop listening to.

Loved this twisty journey

This story was incredible and the performance only added to it. I thoroughly enjoyed it and def recommend if you like psychological dramas!

great story

I really liked this twisted story! male narrator doing the child's voice is weird tho. I'd still recommend!

So confusing

Started out engaging and seemed like a good mystery. By part 3 it seemed the author couldn’t decide how she wanted the story to end and went off into unbelievable ridiculous directions. Ruined the story.

A tough listen

This was a difficult listen given the story line. The narration was excellent, which made the topic even more difficult. Not my favorite by this author.

Good Story

Though it was easy to guess what was happening to Cassandra, the story kept my attention and overall it was good. The narration was well done and that made the book enjoyable as well.

Decent

I love Liv’s book so I had to pre-order this one. I have to say it was quite predictable, however, the plot & story were still good & entertaining.

Conflicted

I read the other reviews prior to reading this but decided to give it a shot, seeing as Liv’s other books are some of my absolute favorites. Where to begin...this book was...not great.
The concept was ok and done well enough that it kept you reading to figure it out but when the conclusion did start to unravel it was convoluted and far fetched. A bit of a let down from Liv. Worth a read if you like her as an author, otherwise certainly not a top 10.
