A Stranger in the House : A Novel

A Stranger in the House : A Novel - Thryft
A Stranger in the House : A Novel - Thryft

Intriguing domestic thriller with unexpected twist

"A Stranger in the House" is a great read for fans of mystery and suspense. The book is packed with secrets and unexpected twists that keep readers engaged from beginning to end. The storyline revolves around Karen Krupp, who suddenly disappears from home without a trace. When her husband, Tom, comes home, he finds Karen's empty purse and no sign of his wife. As the police probe into Karen's disappearance, they soon discover that everyone is a stranger in the house with secrets to hide. The book's unique selling point is its unpredictable twist and turns, which make it impossible to predict the ending.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Shari Lapena's new thriller, AN UNWANTED GUEST, is available now!

"Smart and suspenseful. . . you'll never see the ending coming." --PureWow

In this neighborhood, danger lies close to home. A domestic thriller packed full of secrets, and a twisty story that never stops-from the bestselling author of The Couple Next Door

He looks at her, concerned. "How do you feel?" She wants to say, Terrified. Instead, she says, with a faint smile, "Glad to be home."

Karen and Tom Krupp are happy-they've got a lovely home in upstate New York, they're practically newlyweds, and they have no kids to interrupt their comfortable life together. But one day, Tom returns home to find Karen has vanished-her car's gone and it seems she left in a rush. She even left her purse-complete with phone and ID-behind.

There's a knock on the door-the police are there to take Tom to the hospital where his wife has been admitted. She had a car accident, and lost control as she sped through the worst part of town.

The accident has left Karen with a concussion and a few scrapes. Still, she's mostly okay-except that she can't remember what she was doing or where she was when she crashed. The cops think her memory loss is highly convenient, and they suspect she was up to no good.

Karen returns home with Tom, determined to heal and move on with her life. Then she realizes something's been moved. Something's not quite right. Someone's been in her house. And the police won't stop asking questions.

Because in this house, everyone's a stranger. Everyone has something they'd rather keep hidden. Something they might even kill to keep quiet.
