Cry for the Strangers

I've recently re-read this and still found it gripping. I think the fact that all. Mr Saul's books involve children makes them more scary.
Sending as a RABCK. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

This is the first book I have read by this author and I kind of liked it. It reminded me more of a TV crime thriller than an out and out horror novel, although it had some very chilling moments and a nice supernatural twist. I can't say that is VERY original and you can kind of work out what is going on, but it was a good way of getting there. Although, the one thing that did occur to me, was that if it was me, I'd have nailed shut the kids window a long time ago!
I'm not 100% in love with the ending though. While it left a nice little shudder on the last page, it sort of came out of left field a bit and felt a little bit out with what had happened previously in the book - hard to be more specific without adding spoilers, but if one of the characters was acting one way throughout, it seemed a bit of a quick turnaround in the last couple of paragraphs.
That said, it was an enjoyable enough read that I will dip into the author's other stories to see if they are as thrilling.
