Disclaimer by Renee Knight Summary: A brilliantly conceived, deeply unsettling psychological thriller— already an international sensation—about a woman haunted by secrets, the consuming desire for revenge, and the terrible price we pay when we try to hide the truth. Finding a mysterious novel at her bedside plunges documentary filmmaker Catherine Ravenscroft into a living nightmare. Though ostensibly fiction, The Perfect Stranger recreates in vivid, unmistakable detail the terrible day she became hostage to a dark secret, a secret that only one other person knew—and that person is dead. Now that the past is catching up with her, Catherine’s world is falling apart. Her only hope is to confront what really happened on that awful day . . . even if the shocking truth might destroy her. Angie's Comments: For the first half of the book, I was on edge trying to figure out what Catherine had done that caused Stephen hate her so much. The characters have flawed relationships with spouses and children, and this event implodes the view that their relationships were normal or strong. Sometimes silence may seem to be the best answer, but in this case silence led to misunderstandings and hastily-passed judgement. As another reviewer mentioned, it is hard to review this book without giving anything away. There are twists and complications I didn’t expect. I liked the ending and the way Catherine handles the fallout towards the end. Recommended for readers of psychological thriller/mystery books.  Request this item
