The Stranger in My Home’ is one of Adele Parks’ more popular novels. It tells the story of two girls who were switched at birth and the woman who must deal with the fallout. A man comes to Alison’s home and tells her that Katherine, her daughter, actually belongs to him.
With her university days behind her, she eventually went into advertising and then management consultation. But writing was never far from her thoughts. And she eventually achieved her dreams of becoming a published author in 2000 when her first novel, Playing Away, hit the bookshelves. Two women, vanish out of thin air and their husbands are left in this state of worry and confusion. But I will say again the use of words, her ability to weave them together and talk to you and entice you with her writing prowess make all the minuses of this book acceptable and it it still for meAfter pretending to "rescue" her from the room she was imprisoned in, Fiona brings Kaileigh to her beach house, gets her drunk and then shoves her off a cliff. Although that was a bit harsh, I didn't really care, because Kaileigh was a selfish twat who caused a lot of damage. Also it is unusual for the main character to die so I thought that was interesting. But after that there is just this abrupt end with a few lines about how Fiona had set Daan up to take the fall for Kaileigh's murder and plans to step into her shoes as Mrs. Mark. Adele Parks’ new book Woman Last Seen is fast paced with an intriguingly different plot and incredible twists. Adele attributes her considerable visibility to her chatty persona. She is also fairly opinionated. As such, while many of her peers in the publishing arena would rather disappear behind a computer, Adele is out in public making her voice heard. It's a whole elaborate hullabloo (and frankly not believable) how she has managed to pull off this double life for several years, but the upshot is that her deception is discovered. She finds herself chained to a radiator in an empty room being starved, beaten, and tormented by typewritten notes slipped under the door calling her out for her duplicitous life. Which one of her husbands is doing this to her? I’ve only read one other book by Ms. Parks but found it very enjoyable, so I jumped at the chance to read this one. The cover is absolutely beautiful and grabbed my attention the first time I saw it. This domestic thriller has some awesome twists. Some I saw coming, but others were a complete surprise! I highly recommend it!
Leigh is married to Mark and a stepmother to Mark's sons. Leigh left for work one morning and never returned home. Leigh Fletcher: happily married stepmom to two gorgeous boys goes missing on Monday. Her husband, Mark, says he knows nothing of her whereabouts. She went to work and just never came home. Their family is shattered. Although I correctly guessed the perpetrator early on, the author did a superb job of having me continually second-guess myself and revise my suspicions again and again. This one had an interesting plot. And, okay, I wasn't crazy about the characters or some of the author's views but, all in all, it felt refreshing somehow and my interest never waned. Not even when I guessed the identity of the abductor. I still wanted to know how the author would wrap it up. Same week, different world … Kai Janssen leaves her sexy, wealthy husband and their luxurious penthouse, and vanishes into thin air.This one was fast-paced for the majority of the book and I really enjoyed seeing a troupe that is normally done by male characters carried out by women. It was a great twist on a relatively highly used plot that really bumped things up for me overall. While I did kind of guess what was happening for the last 10% or so, it did have a pretty satisfying ending. I thought so many times I knew who had her, then something else would happen and I'd change my mind. Good read that keeps you on your toes.
