(4,833 Sterne; 3 Bewertungen)

A thriller 'The media's full of people like you, determined to keep someone like me out. It's a closed circle. A magic ring. I'll be doing the world a favour getting rid of you. Your time's up, bitch.’ Caroline Graham is noted for the Midsomer Murders mystery series. The Envy of the Stranger is one of her standalone books. The story follows Roz Gilmour an English radio presenter, happily married with two children. It also follows Fenn, a scary individual, who is basically a stalker. He feels that to get his big break in life, he just needs a push from someone well-connected. From the pictures of stars and starlet that he has posted on his wall, he picks Roz. When he rejected, he begins a campaign of stalking and threatening phone calls and letters. Roz' life is turned upside down as the pressure mounts. It is the interaction between the two and between Roz and her family and co-workers and also between Fenn and other people, as he slides into her life that makes this an interesting story. You'll read this and suddenly find that you've come to the end and think, wow, now that was interesting.
