There are pyschological thrillers and then there is A Stranger on the Beach!
Caroline appears to have the perfect life. She is married, has a daughter, is very wealthy and has a luxurious beach house which most of us would only dream of. However, her world comes crashing down when she throws a party and her husband Jason turns up with another woman.
As her world begins to crumble Caroline goes to drink her sorrows in her local bar and in an act of desperation, she ends up having a one-night stand with mysterious bar tender Aiden. Whilst the fling means nothing to Caroline, it means everything to Aiden, and when Jason goes missing it is not long before we discover Aiden has secrets of his own.
Having recently read ‘It’s Always the Husband’ by Michele Campbell, I was excited to see how ‘A Stranger on the Beach’ would compare. I have nothing but praise for the way this book was written as the author switches between the two protagonists. From early on you discover that Caroline and Aiden’s recollection of events are different meaning that you are left not knowing who to trust. This is carried well throughout the novel and every time I thought I had worked it out the plot spun in a completely different direction.
There are psychological thrillers and then there is A Stranger on the Beach.
