This book made me laugh, caught at my heart and then broke it. The story is clearly building to something but I didn't know what - I won't spoil it but this is definitely not one for public transport
A perceptive insight into family life, both idyllic and dreadful, and the individuals that are part of it. The characters are all people that you can believe in...and the ending? It's an absolute stunner!
Adele Parks does it again. She's already proved she can write a sparkling rom com, a moving love story and a lovingly researched historical novel, now she's taken on the domestic thriller genre and nailed it. Tightly plotted, brilliantly conceived and totally gripping
Filled with drama, riddled with deceit, The Stranger In My Home is another wonderfully tragic and atmospheric story about the complexities of morals and issues and with such an unexpected ending that will leave the reader gasping in shock
Gripped from the very first line, this rollercoaster read is undoubtedly Adele Parks's best novel yet
Twisty, unputdownable and utterly engrossing
You MUST discover this absolute gem of a novel for yourself... It had me truly gripped from start to finish
A slow burning story that speeds up halfway through, its pace mirrors Alison's psyche as it unravels, holding the reader in suspense before packing a final punch. Unpredictable and gripping until the end
The plot twists and turns...and the reader is left frantic to know how it's going to work out
Gripping, twisty and heartbreaking, this standout story is a triumph
The secrets, lies and suspense kept me engrossed
