However, for me, The Perfect Stranger had too many players, and the various subplots didn't come together as neatly as I would have liked. The ending is what really did me in. While I feel like I don't really require my thriller's conclusions to But, I must warn you. This book is not like Moriarty’s previous novels, which usually centered around the family unit, providing a taut element of suspense, blended with humor and sarcasm. This novel has the humor, sarcasm and the suspense, but the setting is not at all domestic, as you will see.

It’s an un-cynical story that reminds all its readers that it’s okay to struggle sometimes, and it’s better to ask for and get help if you need it.Sometimes it’s just a matter of the right book at the right time! This audiobook was just what I was looking for and I spent much of the time listening to it on a beach while often laughing to myself.

Yes, there is a small Complaint Board. You know I didn’t like the one over-the-top scene. But there are three more nits: There is a sense of urgency here from the beginning; that tingling nerves on edge feeling while you're reading this. My issues with the book came towards the end, as Miranda resolves the story. I won't outline them as that would be a spoiler.

There are no receipts or mail or anything tangible to prove that Emmy actually exists. All attempts to blaze a trail to find Emmy end up hitting the wall. And eyes turn on Leah. Nine people gather at a remote health resort. Some are here to lose weight, some are here to get a reboot on life, some are here for reasons they can’t even admit to themselves. Amidst all of the luxury and pampering, the mindfulness and meditation, they know these ten days might involve some real work. But none of them could imagine just how challenging the next ten days are going to be. She remembered her first-ever boyfriend of over thirty years ago, who told her he preferred smaller breasts than hers, while his hands were on her breasts, as if she’d find this interesting, as if women’s body parts were dishes on a menu and men were the goddamned diners. Paul and I watched the first two episodes- out of the three that are available- on Hulu last night —

Cover: Simply beautiful, natural, effective & purely Moriarty! P.S. - Do you see an outline of a woman’s body on the cover?I love Miranda’s writing, the way she gets the details just right. Talking about her students - “they were a species in transition: coming in as kids, voices breaking, angles sharpening, and leaving as something different altogether. Curves and muscle and the unfamiliar force behind both; the other parts of them desperately trying to play catch up.” I'm one of those folks that highlights passages in a book. But I typically don't do it for mysteries, just more “serious literature”. But I found myself highlighting a lot of passages. It was just that well written.
