Review: The Stranger Inside

The Stranger Inside by Lisa Unger
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Rain was 12 years old her two best friends were abducted and one died. She has never fully come to terms with the fact that she got away. Their abductor didn’t go to jail; he went for psychiatric treatment and was released years later. But someone issued real justice when he was killed in the same manner that he killed Tess. Rain is now a stay at home mom and tries her best to not think about the events from her childhood. When another murderer who was not convicted is found dead, Rain feels the need to write about her own experiences. Who is this vigilante? Why can’t Rain just let it stay in her past?

The Stranger Inside is a psychological thriller with some well-placed twists included. I love Unger’s books because she always keeps readers guessing where the story will go and this one is no different. This novel is told in multiple voices, one of which is a killer. Readers will know what everyone is thinking and feeling, yet they will still be amazed that Unger is able to throw in a few unexpected twists. The Stranger Inside should not be passed up by anyone who enjoys this genre.
