With Stranger at Sunset, Eden Baylee's focus is on the characters. That's not to say that the plot suffers any sort of neglect. In fact, I think the opposite is true. The plot shines brighter simply because the characters are so compelling.This story gives us a variety of perspectives, told from the points of view of different characters. We see what drives their choices and their behavior. Most complex and mysterious is Kate, who gets people to confide in her with ease while she keeps her own secrets buried deep.The plot is multi-layered, unfolding slowly at first and building up speed as the layers unfold. The realism here is stunning. Eden Baylee proves that providing detail isn't about how many words you write, but about which words you choose and how you put them together.
