A Familiar Stranger

By: A. R. Torre

Narrated by: Christina Traister, Chris Ciulla, Patrick Lawlor, Leon Nixon

Such a quiet and ordinary wife and mother. Who will even notice what she’s done?

Lillian Smith leads an unexceptional life, writing obituaries and killing time with her inattentive husband and disconnected son. Then she meets David, a handsome stranger, in a coffee shop. Lured into an affair, she invents a new persona, one without strings, deadlines, or brooding husbands.

Lillian has never felt so reckless, unpredictable, or wanted. But as her affair with David intensifies, she withdraws from everything that’s real, even her closest friend. When evidence of her life as a secret lover finds its way onto her son’s social media, she risks ruining much more than her marriage or reputation.

As lies beget lies, Lillian’s two worlds spiral dangerously out of control. And betrayals run deeper than she imagines. Because Lillian isn’t the only one leading a double life.

Critic reviews

“A whiplash suspenser that’s a model of its kind.”—Kirkus Reviews

“The author skillfully reveals the characters’ many lies and secrets. Torre knows how to keep the reader guessing.”—Publishers Weekly

Wow. Wow. Wow!!!

Wowzers. This book is really good. It will keep you on your toes, because it kept me on my toes. OhMgee because I don’t want to spoil it. Let me just say the affair Mike had, I was not expecting who he had it with. And the way it ended it has me wondering are we getting another book or a novella?! Awesome story a must read or listen. I was able to do both because of Kindle Unlimited!!

interesting

Even though this book has a beach on the cover it isn't a summer read and I am glad I read it! So many twists and turns, there's a very small chance you will be able to actually guess the ending!!!!!

No truer words "a familiar stranger"

Very enjoyable read, many twist, and an unexpected end. I purchased both the Kindle and audible so I can switch back and forth as well as listen while I read.. Excellent narration. I reccomend this book.

Good story awful narration

Don’t waste a credit on this title just read the actual book!!
Good story ruined by the narration

Bravo!

There was a point I had to backtrack and am glad I did! I still didn’t guess the end or twist and that’s the way I like it!
