A woman receives a bewildering inheritance that may have something to do with her past in this twisty and addictive psychological thriller from the New York Times bestselling author Entertainment Weekly calls “impossible to outwit.”

Struggling artist Skyler Moore is flabbergasted when she receives a suspicious phone call from a lawyer she’s never met regarding a “private matter.” As soon as she arrives at the law firm’s office, she learns she’s the recipient of a large inheritance, a life-changing sum that will allow her to realize her long-held dream of becoming a mother. But who was her benefactor, Christopher Whaley? The late man’s name means nothing to Skyler, and she has no idea why he would leave her such an enormous bequest.

Looking into his background, Skyler finally realizes they met once at a hotel bar and shared a one-night stand. But they never exchanged numbers, or even last names, and that was over a decade ago. She wonders if the inheritance is meant to be a message of some kind, but can’t imagine what it might be.

Chris’ family is confused and suspicious too, and his widow accuses Skyler of having an affair with her late husband, then threatens revenge. In order to protect herself, Skyler has to understand the reason the money was left to her. But as she digs for the truth, it becomes clear that Chris Whaley might have taken other secrets to the grave, ones that could have terrifying consequences for her . . .

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Kate White’s formidable talent for turning the screws of suspense is on full display in this deliciously addictive chiller. With her perfect pacing and gift for simmering tension, White deftly pulls back the delicate layers of secrets and lies, page by thrilling page. Whip-smart, elegant, and utterly immersive, Between Two Strangers is as impossible to predict as it is to put down.” — Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author of Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six and Last Girl Ghosted 

"A high-caliber thriller that satisfies on every level and is just begging to be adapted into a miniseries." — Book Reporter

“Another fine performance. . . . The writing sizzles, the mystery of the inheritance is intriguing, and the characters are vivid. Readers who have yet to read White's fiction are in for a real treat; longtime fans know what to expect. For domestic thriller devotees, White delivers the goods.” — Booklist

"A suspenseful novel you won’t soon forget. . . . Original, unpredictable and one of the best thrillers I have read in many months.” — Book Trib

"Between Two Strangers is fantastic and so artful. It's Kate White's most suspenseful novel ever. I was on the edge of my seat—it crackles." — Adriana Trigiani, New York Times bestselling author of The Good Left Undone

A truly Great Read
Kate always writes a truly great book, that I can`t wait to read. This one is about Skyler who gets a large inheritance. which causes her many problems. It is from some one she don`t remember and tries to find out who he is in her past life. When she finds out who he is the family causes her many problems. One thing is some one who comes in her place, I can relate to that as I had someone come in mine during the night. She gets afraid to be home. The book keeps you turning pages to find out what is next. I`m sure you will love reading the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars TWISTED LOGIC
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2023

Skylar was begged by her little sister, Chloe to take her to the party. Unfortunately Chloe disappears & the family blames Skylar who moved from Boston to NYC after her sister's disappearance. One night while having a drink at a classy hotel Skylar meets a good looking well dressed man named Christopher & they spend the night together. They never see each other again & do not exchange contact info.

The chapters are divided by Then & Now. Usually I don't like this back & forth writing but the writer wrote this in such a way that it's seamless. You can easily go from Chloe's disappearance to the present with little interruption.

At the present time Skylar is working in NYC. She makes collages which can sell up to 3,000 & Also does graphic designs. She seems to make enough money to live but like most people she has goals.

One day Skylar receives a letter from an attorney requesting her to meet with him. Not really thrilled about it she goes to the meeting & finds out that the man she spent 1 night with left her a fortune.

Then strange things happen to her. Her apartment is broken into, she is followed, paintings are destroyed.

Finally the reader will find out the answer to all Skylar's questions. But the logic is twisted & would be hard for a rational mind to follow. Yet it makes sense in the end.

This is a psychological thriller with a great mystery & interesting characters. I couldn't put it down so make sure you have nothing to do when you start the book. I enjoyed it thoroughly & I suspect most of you will also. It's definitely a book to read a 2nd time.

The story of one sister dying and the other one with her life forever changed is compelling. The characters were dynamic and the plot moved along at a moderate pace. There were plenty of red herrings and false trails to keep the story interesting. I checked out this book from my local library, using the Libby App. All opinions expressed are my own.
