A Stranger's Game

by Coble, Colleen

Torie Bergstrom arrives at her family's historic inn expecting a quiet retreat, but she quickly finds that the building is a shell for something far more sinister. When a guest turns up dead, Torie realizes that the secrets buried within her own bloodline are much sharper than she anticipated. The story builds tension through a claustrophobic, fog-drenched atmosphere where every conversation feels like a trap and every character seems to be wearing a mask. You never quite know who to trust, and the pacing keeps you constantly off-balance as the mystery deepens. This is an ideal pick if you enjoy stories where a protagonist must untangle a complicated web of deception while feeling like an outsider in their own home. It is for the reader who likes their suspense served with a side of complex family drama.
