Review: Another excellent and dark story by my favourite psychological thriller writer, CL Taylor. This time, she presents us with three main characters, complete strangers to each other. As you get to know them, you discover that each of them has plenty of problems and secrets but you have no idea how their stories are going to collide... This kept me glued to the story for hours, as I kept discovering little bits of information about them and was trying to guess how they were going to meet.
But, as usual, CL Taylor had plenty of surprises in store for us, I was completely shocked with the final revelations and when I turned the last page, I was still holding my breath. Always a sign that the story has completely captured me.
In Taylor's previous book, Sleep, the setting of a remote Scottish island played a huge part in the story, so when I read that for this one the setting was going to be a regular shopping centre, I was wondering how she was going to achieve the same dark, eerie atmosphere... But it worked surprisingly well, it really makes you think how many things can happen in such a regular place. Also, the characterization was superb. I think I went through all feelings while getting to know the characters.
It's always a highlight of my reading year when CL Taylor releases a new book and Strangers is no different in this sense. Original concept, intriguing characters, surprising plot and addictive writing, definitely one not to miss!

I would like to thank the publisher for sending me a copy of this book via NetGalley. This is my honest opinion.
