Many books have been written about missing teenagers but Luca Veste manages to bring a new dimension to a familiar story with the use of multiple viewpoints and inter generational tension. I felt the book lost a little tightness towards the end but over all an engaging read

I absolutely thoroughly enjoyed this book, I read it in one sitting on my afternoon off.

The Stranger in the Family is a perfect example of a great psychological thriller. Twists of character and event, perfectly paced and with interesting underlying social themes that make you think.

It also has a good unpredictable edge and some terrific writing. Overall a big thumbs up from this reader.
