As an aside, I am really confused which title I am supposed to review this book under. It came to me as a "secret" that would be revealed on Halloween, and I was not supposed to review it until then. In paperback it is listed as Cuckoo, however the Kindle version is listed on amazon as The Stranger In Our Home. Since no answer seems to be forthcoming I have left a review under both titles though on my blog I have titled it The Stranger In Our Home since that one has an actual book cover.
anyway... my review..


"The flashy one or the nutcase?"

If ever there was a wicked stepmother, it was Elizabeth, who made a point of letting Caro know she didn't belong, and tormenting her with horrid stories. That may explain why Caro's older sister Steph flew the coop when she was barely old enough. It doesn't explain why decades went by before she would ever bother with her sister again.
Now a grown woman, Caro will uncover the reason why her childhood memories are so sparse and what secrets her own mind has hidden from her, as she heads back to her childhood home to clear it out after Elizabeth's death. The locals are less than welcoming, and a charming neighbor who rents the cottage on her property may know more about Caro's past than she does.
This was a twisty psychological thriller with lots of suspense and a bit of romance thrown in.

4 out of 5 stars.
I received an advance copy for review.
