When former FBI profiler turned private investigator Keye Street receives a frantic phone call from her cousin, Miki, Keye is reluctant to help. After all, Miki Ashton has a history of drug abuse and mental problems, and has had problems with police in the past. But Keye knows better than most not to hold someone past against them, as Keye herself is a recovering alcoholic. And besides, Miki is family, and Keye knows that she must help her.
Miki claims that someone broke into her house and that she has the feeling that she is being watched. Keye invites her to stay at her apartment for a while, and almost pushes Keye to the point of relapse. But with the papers piling up at work, Keye can't spend all of her time watching over her cousin who may or may not have had someone break into her house. Until the body of an elderly man is found hanging in Miki's house. That's when Luitenant Aaron Rauser of the Atlanta Police Department, and Keye's boyfriend, starts taking things seriously and discovers a connection to other open investigations.
Rauser and Keye struggle to find the connection between a local teenager, Miki, the murdered elderly man, and others as Keye starts putting together a psychological profile of the killer. Little does she know that, slowly, he is closing in on her and those she cares about the most.
Stranger in the Room is the second book in the Keye Street series. Heroine Keye Street is a recovering alcoholic who lost her job and her marriage due to alcohol and has to fight the urge to drink every day. Although this book is not as suspenseful as the first, it has a heavier focus on mystery that works well with the intricate plot. An enjoyable read for mystery buffs and is worth keeping your eye on.
