Publisher Description
In this gripping standalone novel from USA TODAY bestselling romantic suspense author Colleen Coble, a wealthy hotel heiress goes to Jekyll Island certain her friend's death wasn't an accident--and gets more than she bargained for when the killer begins to play mind games with her.
Even though Torie Bergstrom hasn't been back to Georgia since she was ten, she was happy to arrange a job for her best friend at one of the family properties on Jekyll Island. But when Torie learns that Lisbeth has drowned, she knows it is more than a tragic accident: Lisbeth was terrified of water and wouldn't have gone swimming by choice.
Torie goes to the hotel under an alias, desperate to find answers. When she meets Joe Abbott and his daughter while they are rescuing baby sea turtles, she can only hope they are as trustworthy as they seem. And when someone begins to play mind games with her, proving they know her real identity, Torie couldn't be more grateful to have an ally.
The more Torie and Joe dig, the more elusive the truth seems. But one thing is clear: someone will risk anything--even another murder--to keep their secrets buried.
A Stranger's Game will keep you guessing until the very end with its complex puzzle, threats from both the past and the present, clean romance, and fascinating glimpses into the sea life around Jekyll Island.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A suspicious death threatens to disrupt the tranquility of a luxurious resort in this gripping mystery. Torie Bergstrom’s world is shattered when she learns that her best friend, Lisbeth, suspiciously drowned while swimming on Jekyll Island—even though Lisbeth hated the ocean. When Torie goes undercover to discover the truth, she makes an unexpected connection with a widowed marine biologist named Joe. But as her investigation goes on, she begins to suspect she’s being used as a pawn in the killer’s game. Colleen Coble’s suspense tale is packed with excitement, from thrilling underwater action sequences to a swoon-worthy romance. But what truly sets this mystery apart is its unique setting. We loved the way Coble describes the island’s beautiful vistas and wildlife. Liz Hill’s vivid narration made us feel like we were right there, picking up sand dollars in between moments of shock and danger. If you’re looking for a beach read with a side of excitement, check out A Stranger’s Game.
