From the author of the beloved Ruth Galloway series, a modern Gothic mystery for fans of The Magpie Murders and The Lake House.

Clare Cassidy is no stranger to murder. A high school English teacher specializing in the Gothic writer R. M. Holland, she teaches a course on it every year. But when one of Clare’s colleagues and closest friends is found dead, with a line from R. M. Holland’s most famous story, “The Stranger”, left by her body, Clare is horrified to see her life collide with the story lines of her favorite literature.

I have enjoyed many of Elly Griffiths’ books but not this one. When the mystery is finally solved, it is unsatisfying. There are parts that don’t seem to fit.
Overall, I was disappointed. If this had been my first Griffiths book, it would probably have been my last.

Not Griffiths’ Best

Unlike some of the other reviews, I am not going to say this was the best/scariest book I've ever read nor am I going to say it was slow or boring or failed as a ghost/murder mystery. I actually enjoyed the book and didn't feel it was too long, although there was no point that I was super scared or creeped out. I found the ending to be climactic and would actually recommend it. Sorry for my middle of the road review here, but it was just a decently good read.

Great book! The characters were really interesting, and I liked that the story was told from three different rotating viewpoints.

Excellent mystery!
