Description

A diabolically twisty, psychologically unsettling novel about a woman with no recollection of her past, named one of Suspense Magazine's Best Books of the Year, from the authors of the Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick The Last Mrs. Parrish and The Wife Stalker.

"Jaw-dropping twists with an unsettling edge that you'll need a few days at the beach to recover." —Reese's Book Club

Addison's about to get married, but she's not looking forward to the big day. It's not her fiancé; he's a wonderful man. It's because Addison doesn't know who she really is. A few years ago, a kind driver found her bleeding next to a New Jersey highway and rescued her. While her physical wounds healed, Addison's memory never returned. She doesn't know her real name. Or how she ended up injured on the side of a road. Or why she can't shake the notion that she may have done something very, very bad . . .

In a posh home in the Boston suburbs, Julian tries to figure out what happened to his loving, caring wife, Cassandra, who disappeared without a trace two years ago. She would never have left him and their seven-year-old daughter Valentina of her own free will—or would she?

As these two lives intersect, The Stranger in the Mirror hooks readers with riveting drama, told with Liv Constantine's hallmark blend of glamour, tense psychological thrills, and jaw-dropping twists.

fullDescription

A diabolically twisty, psychologically unsettling novel about a woman with no recollection of her past, named one of Suspense Magazine's Best Books of the Year, from the authors of the Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick The Last Mrs. Parrish and The Wife Stalker.

"Jaw-dropping twists with an unsettling edge that you'll need a few days at the beach to recover." —Reese's Book Club

Addison's about to get married, but she's not looking forward to the big day. It's not her fiancé; he's a wonderful man. It's because Addison doesn't know who she really is. A few years ago, a kind driver found her bleeding next to a New Jersey highway and rescued her. While her physical wounds healed, Addison's memory never returned. She doesn't know her real name. Or how she ended up injured on the side of a road. Or why she can't shake the notion that she may have done something very, very bad . . .

In a posh home in the Boston suburbs, Julian tries to figure out what happened to his loving, caring wife, Cassandra, who disappeared without a trace two years ago. She would never have left him and their seven-year-old daughter Valentina of her own free will—or would she?

As these two lives intersect, The Stranger in the Mirror hooks readers with riveting drama, told with Liv Constantine's hallmark blend of glamour, tense psychological thrills, and jaw-dropping twists.

        "Jaw-dropping twists with an unsettling edge that you'll need a few days at the beach to recover." — Reese's Book Club

        "Another addictive psychological thriller. . . . This twist-packed narrative is insanely good and makes us question what it really means to remember." — Good Morning America

        "We're off and running in this twisty tale that makes our mouths drop without our tongues moving to our cheeks. The execution is flawless and the story virtually Hitchcockian in a Vertigo-like way. One of the best books of the summer, if not all of 2021." — Providence Journal

        "Exceptionally twisty. . . . Devilishly smooth and deceptive." — Toronto Star

        "The well-worn trope of a person suffering amnesia receives a fresh update in The Stranger in the Mirror, thanks to appealing characters and Liv Constantine's energetic storytelling. Constantine, the pseudonym for sisters Lynne and Valerie Constantine, has delivered consistently enthralling novels that have deservedly landed on best sellers lists. . . . Constantine imbues this fifth novel with a brisk plot, solid twists and many surprises as the author blends the psychological thriller with a terrifying domestic drama." — The Sun-Sentinel

        "A nail-biting page-turner. . . . a powerful read." — New York Journal of Books

        "Races along like a rocket on steroids. . . . Once you've opened the book, figuring out who Addison Hope is and how she got to Philadelphia will become your reason for waking up in the morning. Just give into it, set aside a day or two, and immerse yourself. But prepare for spine-tingling thrills." — Book Reporter

        "A great addition to your beach bag this summer. Liv Constantine has done it again—creating multi-dimensional characters with some very deep psychological issues. Highly recommended for readers who enjoy twists and turns." — Criminal Element

        "Gripping! Equal parts character study and domestic thriller, THE STRANGER IN THE MIRROR makes for a perfect weekend read—a highly enjoyable page-turner where you race to the end, breathless to discover the shocking truth." — Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author

        "The Stranger in the Mirror by Liv Constantine is psychological suspense at its finest. Full of dark secrets and surprising twists, Constantine's latest thriller leads readers down a pulse-pounding path of lies, hidden motives, and deadly intentions. An addictive, unputdownable read." — Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author of The Weight of Silence and This is How I Lied

        "With the author's trademark flair for mind-bending plot twists, The Stranger in the Mirror takes readers on a wild ride. Twisty, dark, and psychologically compelling, this is a Liv Constantine novel you do not want to miss!" — Wendy Walker, bestselling author of Don't Look for Me

        "Diabolical and twisty, THE STRANGER IN THE MIRROR is a tense thriller that will keep you compulsively turning pages well past your bedtime. A story of love and manipulation in which you won't know who to trust or how the story will resolve until the shocking finale. THE STRANGER IN THE MIRROR proves, once again, that the dynamic duo writing as Liv Constantine is at the top of their game." — Julie Clark, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Flight

        "I devoured this twisty, chilling, and hypnotic thriller in just two feverish sittings, desperate to guess what was going...

        A trucker finds the protagonist of this soapy psychological thriller from the pseudonymous Constantine (The Wife Stalker) walking a New Jersey highway with no memory or ID. He brings her to Philadelphia and helps her start over as Addison Hope, a name taken from a tombstone. Two years later, Addison is engaged to Gabriel Oliver, whose family owns an art gallery. Gabriel’s mother has reservations about him marrying an amnesiac that are borne out when Julian Hunter visits the gallery and recognizes Addison as Cassandra—his wife, and the mother of his seven-year-old daughter, Valentina. Gabriel is skeptical, but Addison returns to Boston with Julian, hoping to remember who she was and what happened the night she vanished. Constantine (sisters Lynne and Valerie Constantine) squanders a clever premise and suspenseful opening with a string of increasingly absurd plot twists. Addison is a resilient heroine for whom readers will root, but her supporting cast lacks depth, and the tale’s villain borders on caricature. Fans will hope for better next time. Agent: Bernadette Baker-Baughman, Victoria Sanders & Assoc.

        May 1, 2021
        An amnesia victim has built a near-perfect new life when she runs into someone from her past. A disheveled, bleeding woman who doesn't know even her own name is picked up hitchhiking on a highway in New Jersey by a kindly trucker. He and his wife become her surrogate parents, helping her manufacture a new identity as Addison Hope. Addison soon meets Gabriel, a wonderful young man from the Philadelphia Main Line who is so smitten he ends a yearslong relationship with another woman and proposes. Gabriel's mother, Blythe, isn't ready to pop the champagne, though--she wants to know who this girl really is. In truth, Addison feels the same reservations. Meanwhile, up in Boston, a handsome psychiatrist named Julian is caring for his 7-year-old daughter on his own after his wife disappeared two years earlier. Could it be...? In their fifth outing, the sisters who write as Constantine have cooked up another plot involving people with hidden identities--and it works well to embed that issue in the head of the protagonist, who doesn't know herself or anyone else from her past. The plot is twisty but not excessively so--it's the kind where an experienced reader can enjoy staying a few steps ahead of the reveals rather than the kind where the answers are obvious too early or are based on too many late-breaking details. Like most of Constantine's work, including fan favorite The Last Mrs. Parrish (2017), this one is set in the lap of luxury, this time a bit stripped down: fewer ritzy locations and rich-people caricatures, a bit less wealth porn. Still, Gabriel's country-club-snob mother is one of the best characters, and one of several wine recommendations is slipped in as the villain is about to enter his secret den of psychosis: "I have the house to myself overnight for the first time that I remember, and have decided to open the Odette Estate Reserve...." A fast, fun read for domestic thriller fans.

        Another twisty and unsettling domestic psychological thriller (following The Wife Stalker, 2020) from established book-club favorite Liv Constantine, the pen name of sisters Lynne and Valerie Constantine. Their previous titles are in development for both TV and film. So who is Addison Hope? She doesn't even know. Two years ago, she was rescued by a kind driver who found her injured on the side of the road.

Addie has made a new life for herself in Philadelphia and is engaged to be married. Her wealthy prospective mother-in-law hires a private investigator to investigate what she fears is feigned amnesia. Meanwhile, a man in Boston wonders what happened to his wife, who disappeared without a trace, leaving him and their seven-year-old daughter behind. At the intersection of their lives there is a shattering truth that unfolds in a toney drama, certain to appeal to fans of the genre.
