Ratings and reviews

Brilliantly written! 'Strangers' is another non-stop page-turner thriller from Cally. As ever, to talk about the book in any detail is to potentially give things away...and I don't want to do that! What I will say is, you'll be rooting for the strangers - some more than others. For me, it's not the strangers that steal the show though...the ending is superb.

Read in one sitting and loved every character's individual story and the way in which the strands twisted together. Amazing, a must read as is every book by this author,what a gift you have! Thank you on behalf of all readers with good taste.

Once again, C.L. Taylor had me turning the pages at lightning speed and sitting on the edge of my seat during this gripping and sensational read. Plenty of cliffhangers and red herrings. Fascinating, credulous characters cleverly interwoven throughout, each one dissimilar, but culminating with them all being cleverly thrown together. I found myself visualising the characters: loving Ursula and loathing Edward, sympathising with both Gareth and Alice. I found it intriguing that several different sensitive and emotional health topics were well-addressed such as loneliness, mental health and dementia. Very appropriate in this day and age. The plot, based predominantly in the unusual setting of a shopping centre, was full of dark twists and turns and had me once again guessing incorrectly whodunnit! As always with C.L. Taylor’s books, the ending took me by surprise! Definitely my favourite author!
