Following a humiliating house warming party where her husband showed up with his Russian mistress, Caroline is looking for a place to try and forget her problems. She goes to the Red Anchor a local bar. There she discovers Aidan is the bartender. He's really not that bad. And, he's very attractive. Michele Campbell’s edge-of-your seat story of passion and intrigue will keep you guessing until the very end.”— Bookstr Parade's "10 Books Written by Women We Can't Wait to Read in 2019" | She Reads' "Most Anticipated Thillers of Summer 2019" | Pure Wow's "The Best Beach Reads of Summer 2019" | CrimeReads' "The Most Anticipated Crime Books of Summer"
Aidan is my favorite character in A Stranger on the Beach. He’s wounded and damaged. He tries to do the right thing, but he can’t help acting in ways that are bad for him and for others. Despite the trouble he causes, I empathize with him profoundly. All of my books have a character like that. In She Was the Quiet One, it’s Bel, the wild, rebellious twin who hazes her sister. In It’s Always the Husband, it’s Kate, the bad girl with the world at her feet. Some readers hate Kate, but I don’t. I love all of my characters, because I understand them. I’m sure it’s blasphemous to even ask, but do you have a favorite of your books? Or one that is just a little closer to your heart, maybe? Well this is definitely one of my top ten reads of this year and definitely a great summer beach read because you aren’t going to want to put this one down! I loved the way this book was formatted with chapters from both Caroline and Aiden; each chapter was from their respective opinions on what was going on and you have to try to piece together which one of them is telling the truth and who actually committed the crime! I was so intrigued the whole way through and I couldn’t stop reading long enough to really ponder why each character felt the need to lie. There is a lot of action and twists throughout this novel that made it all the more interesting! Definitely recommend!! A STRANGER ON THE BEACH affirms that Michele Campbell is most definitely a master storyteller. Two sides of the story are presented by Caroline Starks and Aidan Callahan. The book begins as Caroline observes 27-year old Aidan standing on the beach and staring at her home. Her first impression is that he is a potential thief and confronts him. Other than exchanging names, not much more was said as they parted when it started pouring down rain, but that brief meeting caused Caroline to let her guard down.
The statue of marble Odysseus speaks for itself — Raphael is definitely a marble sculptor. This statue will serve as a great decoration for your home island. Her spectacular new beach house, built for hosting expensive parties and vacationing with the family she thought she'd have. But her husband is lying to her and everything in her life is upside down, so when the stranger, Aidan, shows up as a bartender at the same party where Caroline and her husband have a very public fight, it doesn't seem like anything out of the ordinary. My Thoughts:
If you've ever seen the HBO Series The Affair, you will know what to expect in this book. Aiden and Caroline have differing perspectives regarding the events following the party where the two of them meet. Who is telling the truth? Is Aiden really as obsessed with Caroline as she perceives? What is going on with Caroline's husband?
This book is an obsessive read that I read on a recent beach trip. I really couldn't put it down and couldn't figure out what was the truth was! Michele Campbell is definitely one of my "go-to" authors for a great thriller!

And to add icing to the cake, construction on her beach home is completed. From the outside looking in, Caroline has it all. But does she has it all?

I should have noticed that, and realized it was odd. But I didn’t see it. I only saw him.

PRAISE FOR A STRANGER ON THE BEACH Michele Campbell has definitely sealed a spot on my MUST READ book list! I thoroughly enjoyed 2017's "It's Always the Husband," breezed through 2018's "She Was the Quiet One," but 2019's Stranger on the Beach solidified my love for Ms. Campbell's novels. I had a reasonably good feeling that it was going to be amazing, so I waited to dive in until I knew I had the opportunity to be able and just devour the novel, and she DID NOT DISAPPOINT! After all the twists and turns, you’ll want to start this book all over again, it’s that good! The book to beat in 2020’ Woman’s Weekly
