‘Immersive storytelling, ingenious plotting and characters who are so brilliantly realised that they leap off the page – Strangers might just be CL Taylor’s best yet. ‘
T.M. Logan

‘First-rate storytelling—I was glued to this one from start to finish!’

‘Clear your diary, you’re going nowhere til you’ve finished this. Impossible to predict, you’ll be sucked in from the first page. Wonderfully devious, clever cliffhangers and utterly addictive.’
