THE INTRUDER -- Review

THE INTRUDER by Freida McFadden A Poisoned Pen release, 2025 Cashiered teacher Casey is living her current life in an isolated cabin somewhere on the fringes of society. Readers unfamiliar with this author cn get a strong and accurate sense of the author's style and of Casey by reading the first and second paragraphs of the novel. A storm is brewing and the author adroitly uses it as a motivting forces to introduce other characters an other lives. This novel, mysterious, long-reaching, moody and extremely well written quickly draws readers into the narrator's life, both as a child and an adult. It is almost impossible to discuss th novl without revealing the book's secrets. That would be unfair to the reader. Solet this reviewer end by stating this is a thoughtful, careful dramatic and gripping story.
