About this listen
Be careful what you wish for. On the surface, Callie Harwell has it all. Newly married to James, she finally gets the family she has longed for and becomes a mother to his two sons. So why is she arrested for murder?
Things are not as Callie hoped they would be and she struggles to be accepted as part of James' family, and to keep hidden the secrets that could destroy her future.
As her life spirals out of control, setting in motion a chain of events with devastating consequences, Callie is forced to question how well we ever really know ourselves.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I don't think listening to the book is time well spent. I lost all sympathy with the protagonist a quarter of the way through the book as her behaviour was just ridiculous and unbelievable. Shame, because I thought from the blurb that this would be a new (to me) author who would write an entertaining thriller.A woman who behaves in a very silly way.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Stranger Within to be better than the print version?
There are some novels that I'm certain are improved by great narrators but this novel, even though it's read by the quite superb Lisa Coleman, will be equally superb in the written form too. Great writing and a terrific listening experience.What did you like best about this story?
I loved the sheer strength of the characters and the story-line which are nothing short of compelling and unforgettable. You might think at the early outset that you just know how things will turn out but forget that because you'll mostly be wrong!Which character – as performed by Lisa Coleman – was your favourite?
Easy to say that the lead female character, Caroline, was a favourite, but this means under-valuing the rest of the compelling and important characters that make this such a memorable novel.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Many, many moments in this great book moved me through various emotions but none as powerfully as the final chapter.Any additional comments?
Read this book over 2 days because it was so well written and SO well read by the wonderful Lisa Coleman who never over-plays any parts of the novels she narrates. Always her 'pitch' is quite perfectly suited to the book. I just can't stop thinking about this whole listening experience. Quite special and how to follow this one?? Next one asap please Kathryn Croft.Can't stop thinking about this compelling novel.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
No, I'd recommend the book, not the audio as narrated.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Stranger Within?
A few twists along the way and I missed a couple, so it's constantly exciting.What didn’t you like about Lisa Coleman’s performance?
I found the voice flat and bordering on boring. The story kept my interest, but not the telling.Any additional comments?
The story, at first, seemed a bit trite, but I became more involved as a few different threads emerged. It's well plotted and more complex than I first imagined, so worth sticking with overall. Some thought provoking themes throughout.Flat narration spoil us a great story
