Publisher's 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.

Ruined by baby talk and time at the gym?!

Which oddly enough is quite irrelevant to the story. I feel like this content was added in to make the book the required length. Because the rest of the story has a good enough plot to make it interesting (the first and last third). Definitely a 'chick book'.

Kept my interest throughout

I enjoyed this book from beginning to end although the end did drag a little bit. The narration is excelelnt and added to the enjoyment of the book. The story line takes you along two different paths and at first it is hard to get how and when they will intersect and that makes it suspenseful. The characters are pretty well drawn and the emotions are raw and authentic. Overall a good listen

Great Book

I loved this book. This is the second book I’ve listed to on Audible. The first book was good, but this one was better and now I’m looking for the third book.

A real page turner toward the end

The narrators were very good. The story was good with an unanticipated ending that kept me reading to the wee hours.

Ugh. A struggle.

The book begins as the climax of the story begins...then it was hours and hours of boredom. I hate to not finish a book but I struggled to finish this one. The climax fell short and there were many elements that were very weak while the rest of it was long & drawn out. So glad when it was over!
