Between Two Strangers

A Novel of Suspense

By: Kate White

Narrated by: Sarah Scott

A woman receives a bewildering inheritance that may have something to do with her past in this twisty and addictive psychological thriller from the New York Times bestselling author Entertainment Weekly calls “impossible to outwit.”

Struggling artist Skyler Moore is flabbergasted when she receives a suspicious phone call from a lawyer she’s never met regarding a “private matter.” As soon as she arrives at the law firm’s office, she learns she’s the recipient of a large inheritance, a life-changing sum that will allow her to realize her long-held dream of becoming a mother. But who was her benefactor, Christopher Whaley? The late man’s name means nothing to Skyler, and she has no idea why he would leave her such an enormous bequest.

Looking into his background, Skyler finally realizes they met once at a hotel bar and shared a one-night stand. But they never exchanged numbers, or even last names, and that was over a decade ago. She wonders if the inheritance is meant to be a message of some kind, but can’t imagine what it might be.

Chris’ family is confused and suspicious too, and his widow accuses Skyler of having an affair with her late husband, then threatens revenge. In order to protect herself, Skyler has to understand the reason the money was left to her. But as she digs for the truth, it becomes clear that Chris Whaley might have taken other secrets to the grave, ones that could have terrifying consequences for her . . .

Great Story!

Loved it! Nice description of characters and actions. Loved how it kept you guessing until the end.

Between Two Strangers

Very Good Story. I really liked Skylar. Her mom I didn’t like at all. People make their own choices; it’s Not someone’s fault what they choose. Great narrator. Joyce

Too far fetched

The narrator was so slow I had to listen on 1.1 elements of the story were drawn out and unnecessarily long. The end was underwhelming

A Little Slow but Worth the Credit

I enjoyed the book, but it seemed to move a little slow. I would find myself frustrated with the main character not connecting the dots. It seemed obvious right away that X was connected to Y in a few situations, but it took a long time to get there. With that said, I listen to a lot of these books, and in “real life” you’re not always looking for a twist. In that sense, the main character was realistic. Overall, it’s not my favorite and it’s not my least favorite either. I don’t regret my purchase.

Excellent storytelling

Loved the reader's voice and how she interpreted the words in the book. She definitely made the listening more interesting!

I had it figured out... and I was completely wrong

lot of turns that I didn't see coming. was entertaining and kept you engrossed.

Great Storyline

A really new type of storyline that kept me wondering how it would
all tie together. I wouldn't call
it a twist ending but a "fall into place".
Very enjoyable to listen to.

Very descriptive

It did seem obvious there was a connection, but quite a few red herrings thrown in to keep the reader guessing. It would have been slow reading , but I listened to it on audio and was able to multi task at the same time. I definitely want to read Kate White’s other books

Good story, worth the read

This was a pretty good story with a bit of a twist at the end. A little slow in some parts but not bad. Had a good and surprising ending as well.

Not My Sisters Keeper, would be a better title. Entertaining, Well Written, Far Fetched.

I liked the whole angle of being left a fortune by someone unknown. Who doesn’t have that fantasy? I liked the artist storyline and interesting characters. The ending was unpredictable and that’s because it wasn’t plausible. Why would anyone be rewarded for not looking after their sister by a total stranger?
