Stranger

Reviews / Votes

Perry does justice to every one of her flawed but fully rounded characters as the story accelerates towards an ending that is as bleak, bloody and inevitable as that of any Greek tragedy -- Declan Burke * Irish Times * I read Stranger in 24 hours. What a compelling, brilliant and entertaining thriller it is. The twists just kept on coming as skeletons fell one by one out of this family closet. Most enjoyable! -- Liz Nugent A really disturbing tale . . . Assured storytelling and neat twists * Daily Mail * Throughout this well-paced thriller Perry keeps ramping up the tension to almost unbearable heights to an unexpected and utterly devastating denouement * Irish Independent * This well-crafted read goes in unexpected directions, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you on your toes * Belfast Telegraph * A twisty domestic noir that keeps you guessing right to the end. Fans of Paula Hawkins and Liz Nugent will swallow it whole * Westmeath Examiner * Praise for Karen Perry * - * Slick, engrossing, twisted and addictive. Domestic crime drama at its best. Highly recommended -- Jo Spain Like Gone Girl...it's the most gripping thing I've read for ages * Evening Standard * Truly remarkable...Grips your heart from the first pages and simply never lets go -- Jeffery Deaver Tense, unpredictable, blending a thriller with an intimate family story to produce a most compelling read -- John Boyne
