Review: the stranger

For those not reading a lot of mystery or thriller type novels, the "tell" may be missed that made this short fairly obvious to this reader.  Perhaps many will miss regardless of how much or little they read.  I was fully engaged and gripped and then when the meeting took place in the booth - the book was laid out (not specific details mind you) with one obvious sentence that showed me the who of the "mystery."  Still, the tale was good and the story will be enjoyed by many.  I enjoyed it, just was able to determine too much too soon based in that one bit.A fellow returns to a town when it seems impossible he can be there.  The town is all upset due to the past crimes commit against them by this fellow.  One particular townie disbelieves Lance can be back until /unless he sees for self.  And the tale is his encounter wherein Lance tries to prove innocence of those crimes he was convicted of.  The tale unfolds in bits and pieces and many will hit the 85% mark and be surprised by a twist in tale.  As stated earlier in review, I was not surprised due to a tell.  But, overall, the story is still quite good.Recommend author.Christine
