The Stranger

'Immersive, gripping, will pull at your heartstrings' Gilly Macmillan, international bestselling author

Both thrilling and deeply moving, THE STRANGER is a devastating love story full of intrigue and dark secrets from Richard and Judy bestselling author Saskia Sarginson.

We all have our secrets. Eleanor Rathmell has kept one her whole life. But when her husband dies and a stranger arrives at her door, her safe life in the idyllic English village she's chosen as her home begins to topple.

Everyone is suspicious of this stranger, except for Eleanor. But her trust in him will put her life in danger, because nothing is as it seems; not her dead husband, the man who claims to love her, or the inscrutable outsider to whom she's opened her home and her heart.
