Reviews
[A] superior thriller...The plot takes many terrifying twists and turns en route to the surprising climax. Those with a taste for the gothic will be richly rewarded., Carol Goodman's The Stranger Behind You is at once a ripped-from-the-headlines thriller, a powerful meditation on the deep bonds and power of female friendship, and a colorful glimpse of New York City old and new. In a twisting, mesmerizing story that is as beautifuly written as it is utterly propulsive, Goodman weaves a dream that blends the past and the present, takes us deep into the hearts and souls of her characters, and keeps us breathlessly turning the pages right to the shocking and poignant end. I absolutely loved this layered and moving novel!, A mesmerizing narrative that culminates in a poignant ending to a brilliant journey. Gothic? Note the phantom lye and bleach stench and wait for it! Make sure fans of Shari Lapena and Alison Gaylin get their hands on this one., The final third of the book is a real rollercoaster ride...Goodman saves some great plot twists for the final pages, including a big one that I never saw coming--the kind of surprise that will make you want to go back and reread it., "Goodman, a master genre-blender, has integrated elements of Mary Roberts Rinehart's 'had-I-but-known' gambit and Agatha Christie's 'alone-on-an-island' theme to come up with a real winner." -- Booklist (starred review) "This smooth cocktail of refreshingly chilly suspense is sure to win [Goodman] new fans." -- Publishers Weekly "The Disinvited Guest is a tense, fever dream of a thriller in an extraordinary, atmospheric setting, gripping from first page to last. In a world under attack from a new virus, seven friends take refuge on a private, fog-drenched island where memories are both long and unreliable, illness lurks, the terrain is treacherous and even the island's history has claws. Carol Goodman is a brilliant writer, and she shines here. Loved it." -- Gilly Macmillan, New York Times bestselling author of The Long Weekend "Goodman creates a constant sense of tension, uncertainty, and ever-shifting suspicions in the reader. Her characters are complex. Deeply flawed, yet mostly likeable, they feel like people one might actually meet." -- The Big Thrill "Carol Goodman's The Stranger Behind You is at once a ripped-from-the-headlines thriller, a powerful meditation on the deep bonds and power of female friendship, and a colorful glimpse of New York City old and new.

- v***v (2064)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
