Gripping domestic suspense with a great ending

Revisado: 04-20-25

What a roller coaster! This book starts with a slow build, getting to know three women who have their own share of secrets. Eventually without even realizing it was happening, the book starts taking twists and turns. The way it all wraps up is something I will be thinking about for some time. Fantastic!

Quick and twisty—love a full cast

Lots of plot holes but they really didn’t bother me. This was a wild ride. The narrators are great.

An intriguing concept and compelling characters

Revisado: 05-27-24

I loved this book. The story itself feels both inventive and vintage. The setting on the train and in Italy makes a lovely backdrop for the multitude of secrets that are revealed. The ending was unexpected but perfect, in my opinion.

Catherine Steadman writes another incredible mystery!

Revisado: 07-20-23

One of the best books I read this year and Catherine Steadman’s acting skills on top of her writing skills makes the audiobook near perfection! I wish I could give this more than 5 stars.

Great narration and solid story

Revisado: 05-15-22

I didn’t realize this was a sequel until like 2/3 through and thankfully it read like a stand-alone so it didn’t matter! Narration is great, the story is interesting. Loved the focus on first impressions and what we assume about others based on superficiality. A few content warnings for those who care, namely sexual abuse of a minor. It’s not graphic since it’s all flashbacks.

Grab your popcorn!

Revisado: 06-06-21

This was a fun book and overall I thought the narration was good, particularly the narrators for Tish and Kate! It was a bit easier to predict where this would go than the author’s prior books, but it’s a quick and engaging read.

Compulsive storytelling

Revisado: 05-15-21

This book starts so strange but by the third chapter I was completely hooked. The story just gets more and more twisted and devious as it goes! Full of fantastic twists, though I did sort of hope for one more zinger. Fantastic book!

Funny, smart, and heart-warming!

Revisado: 04-14-21

I’m a big fan of Lea Geller’s books—she has such a sharp way of seeing the ridiculous yet redeeming side of people. The narration really enhanced this book too—it kept the story light, humorous, and ultimately helped deliver on a message that certainly warmed my heart!

The narration was outstanding for this gothic story!

Revisado: 07-02-19

I really enjoyed The Stranger Diaries, and I definitely think that the audiobook is the way to go! The gothic feel to this mystery was so spooky. I know “atmospheric” is often misused, but it’s absolutely the way to describe this book. The old school with the writers office still intact, the spooky short story snippets interspersed, and the diary entries. There were at times a ghostly feel to this book, and the narration really brought it out. Fantastic!
