I have been in such a reading rut lately and I'm not sure if it was me or my book selections, but "The Stranger" definitely let me escape the rut.

Adam Price is living what be believes is the good life. Beautiful wife and two wonderful kids until one day a stranger appears and reveals a secret about his wife. A secret that could bring their marriage to its knees or does Adam ignore it and just continue on with their life as it is?

Adam's family isn't the only one that has their lives interrupted by the stranger and their revelations. Other families have to also come to terms with these cold hard truths. How will they respond and how it effect their lives?

In the end though the story focuses more on Adam Price's decision and how it will impact the life of his family. Why is the stranger going around revealing the darkest secrets of some? How did this person to know these secrets? How does it all end?

Harlan Coben once again spins a great tale and I knew by going to read one of his books he'd allow me to escape the rut I was in. Definitely recommend "The Stranger" as its another riveting page turner by Coben.
