The Stranger Diaries

by Elly Griffiths · 2018

When a beloved colleague is found dead with a chilling line from the gothic classic “The Stranger” scrawled beside the body, literature professor Clare Cassidy finds the world of her favorite author, R. M. Holland, bleeding into reality. As the police suspect someone from her inner circle, Clare retreats to the one place she trusts—her diary. But the pages begin to fill with a mysterious hand that knows her name and warns, “Hallo Clare. You don’t know me.” Suddenly the fictional terror of Holland’s story is unfolding around her, and Clare must decipher the cryptic messages before the deadly plot writes its final chapter. A modern gothic whodunit that twists academia, obsession, and suspense into a spell‑binding mystery.
