Strangers in Budapest draws the reader into the story right from the beginning. Annie and Will move to Budapest from the United States. There is an undertone of mystery and suspense throughout the book. The author does a great job of describing life as an expat in a bleak country. They encounter various characters that have a mysterious past. The themes of guilt and fate related to all of their past lives keep you intrigued. The ending was a little predictable. Overall, I enjoyed the book and read it fairly quickly.
