I really enjoyed reading this book! A Stranger in the House is about a woman who gets into a car accident after fleeing the scene of a murder. She loses all memory of what happened. Throughout the book, she begins to uncover small changes in her house and the people around her, making her feel as though someone has been breaking into her house. The characters were interesting to follow and you were guessing what happened throughout the entire book.

They witness the death of this classmate, Simon, while serving detention due to an allergic reaction. Since they were the only ones to witness this, Addy, Cooper, Brownyn, and Nate, they are all targeted as suspects of the murder of Simon.
