Quite a fun slow burn thriller which roller-coasted in the last few chapters like a rocket. Author C. L. Taylor made me crave to get to the ending with each chapter I read. Everything felt like a teaser right up to the end.
Alice, a rookie tinder user, Ursula, the Amazonian shoplifter, and Gareth, the security guard looking after his mom. All three were bound together yet unknown to each other until the very end. They were the Strangers.
Having read many books by the author, I loved how she slowly led me down the pages almost gently. I tried being a detective to find out how the three could be connected. Alas, all my theories were wrong. The author completely blindsided me.
3 characters, 3 lives, 3 stories all masterfully tied together in suspense and mystery by the talented author until the secrets exploded and truths came to light.
Overall, a fun breakfast read.
I received a free ARC from NetGalley and the publisher, and this is my journey into its pages, straight from the heart!! STRICTLY HONEST AND UNBIASED.
All my reviews can be read here
Ursula, Gareth and Alice have never met before.
Ursula thinks she killed the love of her life.
Gareth’s been receiving strange postcards.
And Alice is being stalked.
None of them are used to relying on others – but when the three strangers’ lives unexpectedly collide, there’s only one thing for it: they have to stick together. Otherwise, one of them will die.
Three strangers, two secrets, one terrifying evening.

I read and enjoyed The Missing by this author – she has mad skills!
I agree this was low on suspense until the last 30 pages then the three lives collide.
What really got me with this book was that I had no idea how the author would make their lives collide! Fab review! xxx
Thank you so much ❤️ Meggy. I had vague ideas but none of them became true
Sounds good!! Excellent review!! <3
Thank you so much ❤️
I have one book by this author and I still haven’t read it. This sounds as good as other books. I’ll get this one along with other books, maybe next year..
Get the other books, this is slightly low in suspense except for the last 30 pages
Does that mean you read the entire book over breakfast? 🤔 I meant to ask you that when I read your other post. 🤗
Yes… I eat toast and tea and while reading the book I forget the tea and then have to re heat it… That’s how it gets prolonged to a 2 hour read/eat
😂..Ooohhh…now I see.
