Review of Stranger or Friend.

Stranger or FriendStranger or Friend by Silvia Villalobos
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read this novel as an ARC, with the understanding of giving an honest review.
The reader goes into the intense, personal thoughts of Zoe, while the feisty lawyer visits her home town to take care of her mother. Instead of the expected peace, events unfold that set her senses spinning. Training kicks in and she tries to focus on facts and trust her instincts.
The wonderful sense of place in the novel, and the moody cold of winter is only bettered by the weird sounds. We study each character through Zoe's eyes and go deep into her thoughts with all the doubts, questions and fears that face her as the mystery of her friend's death unfolds. She doubts her friends and even kind-hearted strangers. Superbly written, the plot gripped me and held me to the stunning conclusion.
