The second of Clare Chase's London oCambridge Mystery books and just as compelling as the first, 'You Think You Know Me'. 'A Stranger's House' is also the first novel published under the new Death by Choc Lit imprint, described by the publisher as "gripping edge of your seat reads". What if you were powerless to protect the person you cared about most? When Ruby finds out that her partner has done the unforgivable, she has no option but to move out of their home. With nowhere else to go, a job house-sitting in Cambridge seems like the perfect solution. But when the owner of the property, the mysterious Damien Newbold, is found murdered, Ruby's new job takes an unnerving turn ? one she cannot resist investigating herself. Ruby's new boss, Nate Bastable, has his eye on her and seems determined to put a stop to her sleuthing. Is he simply worried for the welfare of a member of staff, or is there something altogether more complicated ? and potentially dangerous ? at play?
