Martin Stillwater has a vivid imagination. It charms his loving wife, delights his two little daughters, and gives him all the inspiration he needs to write his highly successful mystery novels. But maybe Martin’s imagination is a bit too vivid… One rainy afternoon, a terrifying incident makes him question his grip on reality. A stranger breaks into his house, accusing Martin of stealing his wife, his children—and his life. Claiming to be the real Martin Stillwater, the intruder threatens to take what is rightfully his. The police think he’s a figment of Martin’s imagination. But Martin and his family have no choice but to believe the stranger’s threat. And run for their lives.
But wherever they go–wherever they hide–he finds them…

This was a hard one to rate. It had a VERY strong start. I was in it for the first 300 pages then it came to an EXTREME halt for roughly 100 pages... extremely boring a whole lot of filler. Too many adjectives and paragraph after paragraph of how the snow looked. After awhile I started skimming portions of the book. It was slightly ridiculous how drug out it was in certain areas. The last 80 or so pages were phenomenal again. I'm glad I decided not to DNF this book because the ending saved it somewhat. I think this book would have gotten 5 stars from me if it would have been a 350 page book. No reason the story couldn't have been told in that amount of pages. All in all a terrific concept, terrifying.
