Publisher Description

A first-year resident at a major Boston children's hospital, Peyton Shields finally has the career she's always dreamed of—even though her marriage to Kevin, an up-and-coming young lawyer, is suffering from her hard work and impossibly long hours. But a late-night drive home in a heavy snowstorm changes everything when she is forced off the road.

No one, not even Kevin, believes Peyton's claims that the ""accident"" was deliberate. Suddenly, her wonderful life has turned dark and uncertain, and the terror has only just begun. Her husband is growing inexplicably distant and bitter, accusing her of paranoia, betrayal, and infidelity. And a series of bizarre and frightening events is moving Peyton steadily closer to a faceless, resourceful enemy who is watching her every move.

"This book was really interesting for me. It's a very quick and exciting thriller. The characters are contructed in a way that makes you bond easily to them. You cared about what's going to happen next. But I will say that the twists in the book keep you going and going. I thought I knew who was behind it but then it turned in a completely different direction. I enjoyed the interplay between all the couples: Peyton and her husband, her parents and the lawyers that represent them. I found the ending to be different and fascinating although I wish it wouldn't have wrapped up quite so quickly and neatly. I wanted to explore it a little further. I highly recommend this book. I got it from Zooba for $9.95 with no shipping for the hardback. I recommend anything from Grippando."

Quotes

  • “A stunning and scary psychological thriller of the first order.”

    — Nelson Demille
  • “Lying with Strangers is filled  with living, breathing characters caught up in high-tension, cliff-hanging excitement and danger. An ‘I cant’t put it down’ novel of the top tier, and not to be missed. Absolutely loved it!”

    — Heather Graham
  • “Enough suspense to keep readers looking in dark corners and over their shoulders.”

    — Booklist
  • “Bresnahan portrays the many and varied characters inhabiting the book with aplomb. She gives each character a distinct identity and never drifts into caricature.”
