The Stranger Upstairs
By: Lisa M. Matlin
4.5/5 stars
* Thank you to the author and to netgalley for allowing me to read and review this book. *
I love love love this author. I can't believe this is her debut novel because her writing style is so developed and mature. I love the way she writes. In fact, I even enjoyed reading her "acknowledgements" section at the end of the book- that's how much I love her mind and how she expresses herself.
Now, on to the book and its contents... This book is a true thriller in my eyes. It doesn't have the typical twists that I've been reading in a lot of the thrillers that are popular right now. And to be honest with you, I didn't even need a twist at the end of this. Sometimes I persist through thrillers just to be blown away by the last fifty pages of the novel. But this thriller blew me away with every page. I was actually spooked by this book. I made the mistake of reading during 2am baby feeds, and I often found myself looking behind me and making sure doors were shut and locked.
I feel like this book is a hard one to review without spoiling it, so I'll stop while I'm ahead. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I will definitely be following this author and looking forward to more novels.
