Description
THE TIMES CRIME BOOK OF THE YEAR. THE RICHARD & JUDY BOOK CLUB PICK.
'Utterly bewitching ... a pitch-perfect modern Gothic' — AJ FINN, author of The Woman in the Window
A dark story has been brought to terrifying life. Can the ending be rewritten in time?
This is what the police know: English teacher Clare Cassidy's friend Ella has just been murdered. Clare and Ella had recently fallen out. Found beside the body was a line from The Stranger, a story by the Gothic writer Clare teaches, and the murder scene is identical to one of the deaths in the story.
This is what Clare knows: No one else was aware of her fight with Ella. Few others have even read The Stranger. Someone has wormed their way into her life and her work. They know her darkest secrets. And they don't mean well.
This is what the killer knows: Who will be next to die.
'Compelling, intelligent and increasingly mesmerising' — PETER JAMES
'Picks up where the great Gothic thrillers of the past leave off ... goose-bump spooky, smart, and haunting. I loved this book! And you will too' — LOUISE PENNY

The Stranger Diaries by Elly Griffiths has been praised for its strong character development and suspenseful narrative. Critics describe it as a beautifully crafted chiller with a genuine creepiness that effectively immerses readers. The book's Gothic tale is noted for its cliffhangers, dark humour, and authentic suspense, making it an ideal page-turner for foggy, wintry evenings. Readers also appreciate its homage to Gothic fiction, combined with well-drawn, likeable characters and a blend of real suspense and supernatural elements.
