Strangers- CL Taylor-psychological thriller
A tantalising introduction gives us Alice standing over a body. We know not who or
how. Snap back a short time and Alice is going out on a date. She has been divorced for
a while and with the encouragement of her daughter she should start living again. The
man she meets is drunk and abusive and she is rescued by a stranger. Ursula has been
forced to move out from living with her relatives. They have discovered her shoplifting
habit and then denying it and it has got out of hand. She finds a room to rent but the
landlord is a neat freak and has some very strange ways. Gareth is a security guard at
a shopping centre where Alice works and Ursula “shops”. He is seeing in his mother
more and more of the dementia she was diagnosed with a short time ago. He thought
his father was dead when he was a child but now finds a postcard from him with a
recent postmark. Three characters linked by a location. I love Cally’s books. You
always know that there is something, just something around the corner but not
what. That tension and expectation that tantalises you keeping you between
the pages and turning ever faster. A cleverly thought out plot, excellent characters
and one I couldn’t put down.
