About this listen

What does the perfect family have to fear most? The perfect stranger.

From the outside, Frank and Grace seem to have the perfect family. He’s a loving husband, she’s a devoted wife, and together they have two happy children. But appearances can be deceiving. A strange series of misfortunes has left them reeling: an unexplained break-in, a catastrophic handgun accident, and a bizarre poisoning that’s left Grace feeling especially unnerved. Packing up their RV for a move across the country, they’re ready for a fresh start, expecting to leave all their problems safely behind.

Then one night on the road to their new home, the figure of a young woman emerges from the darkness, causing them to swerve off the road. The injured stranger says her name is Mara. Miles from help, Frank does what any decent man would do. He invites Mara to stay. But Mara is hiding a secret. And she is not the only one.

Was it all just another inexplicable accident? Or has Frank opened the door to an escalating family nightmare designed to tear his perfect world apart?

Another Fatal Attraction

I really liked "The Light of The Fireflies" and "Desert Flowers" but really couldn't get into this book. It is a really slow build story. I gave up reading it several times but went back to finish it, wish I hadn't. I didn't find the story very interesting, the storyline was predictable and the author plays the usual Devils Advocate with the characters. It's a shame because I was a big fan of his work, but in this case I really didn't like the long build up and the subject matter. It mainly just focuses on what an absolute d*ck the husband is.
