A pacey psychological thriller about the slippery nature of the truth that asks just how well we know those we love.
Melanie Raabe began her working life as a journalist but secretly wrote books by night. Her debut novel, The Trap, was an international bestseller. Her second, The Stranger, remained on Der Spiegel's bestseller list for almost six months when it was first published in 2016.
‘The fear is palpable…You’ll be engrossed every step of the
way.’

‘Raabe cleverly sets up her story, inserting twists and red
herrings so that the reader is kept guessing until the final,
staggering reveal. Flawlessly translated from German by Imogen
Taylor, this page turner is even better than Raabe’s debut.’

thriller and the end is sweet and innocent and left a tear in my
eye.’
