Casey's remote cabin was never built to stand up to a hurricane, yet the storm turns out to be her smaller problem the night she spots a girl outside the kitchen window.
The stranger is young, alone and streaked with blood, and she will not say where she has come from or put down the knife. What follows is tightly bounded suspense: one house, one storm, two people, and a secret the girl will protect at any cost. Freida McFadden, known for The Housemaid, keeps the pressure on through short chapters and steady reversals as Casey edges toward an answer she may not survive.
Worth noting:
• Confined setting, with weather cutting off every easy way out
• Two-hander structure that keeps suspicion moving between the women
• Short chapters built for reading in one long sitting
• Trust, trauma and survival running underneath the plot
For readers of locked-room suspense and domestic thrillers, The Intruder can be ordered from Boipoka.
