About this listen

What if you came home to find a stranger living inside your house? An "oustanding, ever-twisting, surprise-filled" psychological drama (Publishers Weekly), in the tradition of Shari Lapena and Liane Moriarty, from Edgar- and Thriller Award-nominated author Laura Benedict.

There's a stranger living in Kimber Hannon's house. He tells the police that he has every right to be there, and he has the paperwork to prove it. But Kimber definitely didn't invite this man to move in. He tells her that he knows something about her, and he wants everyone else to know it too.

"I was there. I saw what you did."

These words reveal a connection to Kimber's distant past, and dark secrets she'd long ago left buried. This trespasser isn't after anything as simple as her money or her charming Craftsman bungalow. He wants to move into her carefully orchestrated life - and destroy it.

Critic reviews

"Outstanding.... Kimber's complicated personality and unusual family life drive the ever-twisting, surprise-filled plot.... [She] is the epitome of the unreliable narrator."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Can you imagine the nightmare of a stranger taking over your house? The terror you would feel? With The Stranger Inside, Laura Benedict turns her unique voice in suspense to this elegant scary mystery, where nothing is as it seems and one woman's truth is shattered by the hidden secrets of her past."—J.T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author of Lie to Me"

"Benedict spins a story driven by deceit on the part of most of the principals, with tension increasing with the body count and the twists and turns that continue to the very end."—Booklist

Chile...the drama! This book is juicy and full highs, and more highs. The betrayal is not what I expected at all, but a great read.

It’s hard to fully like a book when the main character is so unlikeable. Performance was great.

The idea was good but the plot moves slowly. I had a bit of trouble sticking with it. The major character was headstrong and not likable. Twists were good.

The criticisms were spot on - narrator is too breathy; characters are obnoxious; and story is a bit weak. However, I found the book entertaining and listened until the end.

Flawed but still entertaining

I enjoyed this book. The story had a great pace. Nice twists and turns. I had a hard time rooting for the main character, she was a bit.... terrible. I came to adjust to her. I look forward to another book by this author.

Worth it

I love the narrator she is one of my favorites. The book itself was an enjoyable listen. The author had me wondering with a lot going on in the storyline.

Good book!

This was a thoroughly enjoyable and suspenseful book. It was different in that I sure hadn’t figured it all out until the end. That makes a good read in my opinion.

Different - in a good way
