āLouise Stone is an exciting new talent to watch. S is for Stranger is full of tension and atmosphere. A hugely compelling read.ā ā Amanda Jennings, author of In Her Wake
There are two sides to every story.
But only one is true.
Sophie wished sheād paid more attention when her little daughter, Amy, caught sight of a stranger watching them. She only looked away for a second. But now Amyās gone.
No one trusts an alcoholic. Even a sober one. The police are suspicious of Sophieās tangled story and so is her ex-husband, Paul. Especially when new information emerges that changes everything.
But what if Sophie is telling the truth? What if her daughter really is missing? And what if that stranger at the fairground wasnāt really a stranger at all...
Perfect for readers looking for their next addictive read after The Girl on the Train and Behind Closed Doors.
