Death lies between the lines when the events of a dark story start
coming true in this haunting modern gothic mystery, perfect for fans of
Magpie Murders and The Lake House.
Clare Cassidy is no stranger to murder. A high school English teacher
specializing in the Gothic writer R. M. Holland, she teaches a course on
it every year. But when one of Clare's colleagues and closest friends is
found dead, with a line from R. M. Holland's most famous story, "The
Stranger," left by her body, Clare is horrified to see her life collide
with the storylines of her favorite literature.
To make matters worse, the police suspect the killer is someone Clare
knows. Unsure whom to trust, she turns to her closest confidant, her
diary, the only outlet she has for her darkest suspicions and fears
about the case. Then one day she notices something odd. Writing that
isn't hers, left on the page of an old diary*:*
Hallo Clare. You don't know me.
Clare becomes more certain than ever: "The Stranger" has come to
terrifying life. But can the ending be rewritten in time?
