Virtual strangers takes the familiar story "Strangers on a Train" and injects it into the modern world of Internet forums and chat rooms.  But the premise of "Strangers on a Train" is only the tip of the iceberg for this story.Anyone who has spent any time at all reading and posting on an internet forum will be right at home with the world that is depicted in this story.  It brings to light so much of the truth vs. fiction that you face when you get to know people in a virtual world.  All of this is done in a backdrop of murder mystery that is exciting and thrilling.What I really loved about this book was the writing style.  It is written from the first person point of view of two different people.  The story flows quite comfortably from one character to the other.  I can only guess that each of the authors wrote one of the characters because the style and "voice" each of the characters is so distinct that it is hard to believe that one writer could switch gears enough to write both.
