Summary

Annie comes home from a market trip with her young son, George, only to make a gruesome discovery. Could the perpetrator be the new lodger she and her husband, David, just rented their spare bedroom to?

Emily dreams of one day owning a house where her son, Josh, and the little one on the way can grow up, but when her husband, Aidan, insists on leaving his lucrative job as a luxury car salesman, she senses something more is afoot - even while she harbours a secret of her own. What is Aidan hiding, and will it jeopardize their young family’s future?

Meanwhile, Aidan’s boss, Marcus, finds himself caught between placating his wife Dani’s all-consuming desire to get pregnant and managing the less than savoury group of associates now helping to run his car dealership. How far is Marcus willing to go to prove his love for Dani? Or will his business come first?

From best-selling author Shalini Boland comes A Perfect Stranger, a domestic thriller that will keep you on your toes until the very end - and force you to question whether you can ever truly know someone.

Too much padding

A good ending but could’ve easily been an hour or two shorter..an over abundance of small town suburban living detail…the tension was dissipated.
Also who edits the original text? Several glaring grammatical and word misuse errors. But I am a bit of a pedant when it comes to such things.

Very disappointed with the end

It is a great story at one point, but not in another. The end was just too much, not necessary at all. And the whole thing about the birthday party, the surprise party, doesnt even fit witth that ending. Why should Emily plan a big party and invite the man she already knew was threatening her?
Sorry to say this because overall the story was making sense and even got me to listen to it without a break.

Long winded

As the story developed it appeared to slow down with too much detail of trivial things.
I got tired waiting for the plot. Eg wife of Marcus is too dim with cop on to be believable.
It takes way to long for her to think he’s up to something.

A slow start but worth persevering

The story seemed to start very slowly and didn’t go anywhere at first. I almost gave up on it at times, but once some of the pieces started falling into place it got a lot better and it was worth sticking with it until the end. The narration was good and didn’t distract from the story.

Glad to get to the end

The story was much too slow, very predictable and the narrator for Dani was irritating to listen to. I thought about giving up but stuck it out. I don't recommend it and am very glad I didn't waste a credit on it.

Just go with it

Pretty unputdownable even if a teeny bit far fetched. Great easy listening with plenty of tension. Very well read by all.
