For two years Addison Hope has been struggling to remember her past. She is on the cusp of marrying a great man, Gabriel, and having her dreams come true, but she can't help but worry about the black hole that is her memory. After a trip to an art show, Addison's past is revealed. Julian, a wealthy doctor in Boston, recognizes Addison as his missing wife, Cassandra. Addison gives up Gabriel and everything in her new life to return to Boston and their young daughter, Valentina. As Addison works to remember all the details, she questions the things that Julian has been telling her. Does she really have anxiety and depression? Did she really destroy all of their wedding photos in a fit of rage? And why are things going missing? But worse, when Cassandra hears voices, she is scared that Valentina is in danger - because of her. Will Cassandra ever get back the memories that elude her? And is she really a danger to those she loves?
The Stranger in the Mirror is another summer thriller for Liv Constantine. Even before I knew Addison's past, I felt she was dramatic about it. Here she was on the verge of marrying this great guy, and all she could dwell on was her past. When Julian was introduced to the story, I got it. She had every reason to be concerned. What I really liked about The Stranger in the Mirror is that Addison/Cassandra saved herself. The last few thrillers I have read could not make that claim. Because of that, the end was pretty spectacular. - CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS.
Bottom Line - Liv Constantine is getting a reputation for summer thrillers, a well-earned reputation. You can't walk on a beach without seeing one of their books. The Stranger in the Mirror is just the latest installment of the newest summer tradition.
