A stranger in the house / Shari Lapena

Lapena, Shari. A Stranger In the House. New York : Pamela Dorman Books, 2017.

She might very well be
a stranger to her own life.

The Krupps are doing well in life – newly married and with no kids to speak of, they’re enjoying being together and settled into a comfortable existence in suburban New York. But when Karen vanishes one day – car gone, purse and phone left in the house – their dream life is turned upside down. The police reveal to Tom that Karen’s been in a car accident, and though she’s okay, some of her memory has been lost: like where she was going, or what she was doing. Her return home should have been a celebration, but instead Karen senses that something is very, very wrong – and that maybe, their dream life was far from perfect.

With suspense and mystery in hand, Lapena crafts a domestic thriller that has become a staple of the genre. For those wishing to dive deep into the mind of an unreliable narrator, A Stranger in the House is the perfect psychological thriller to fill a weekend.
