Laura's Pick: The Stranger in Our Bed by Samantha Lee Howe



Charlotte is a great wife, married to a very wealthy man, but she is bored, unhappy, and looking for more. In comes Ewan Daniels. He and Charlotte run into each other a few times and begin an affair that is everything Charlotte is missing in her marriage to Ben. As they get more serious, Charlotte makes plans to leave her husband and his overbearing mother. As she takes the final steps to leave and goes to meet Ewan he disappears. His phone is no longer in service, the apartment they used has someone else there and nothing makes sense. As she stands in the rain crying with nowhere to go, her husband comes and rescues her and is willing to take her back. Charlotte tries to put Ewan out of her mind and make a fresh start with Ben but something just doesn’t add up. Is she being followed? Was Ewan just using her? And why is her husband acting strange?

This is a twisty psychological thriller. Some twists were more obvious than others but it was a fast page turner that was hard to put down. I highly recommend.
