From the start, there is an air of menace in Strangers in Budapest that seems to permeate every scene, event, and conversation in the novel. After a mysterious fax from their old neighbors in the states that happened to be from Hungary Annie and Will are asked to check on an elderly man staying in secret in their old apartment in Budapest. Will does not want to get involved after meeting this man but Annie feels drawn to help him and so continues to go to his apartment. The man reveals to her that he is hiding in Budapest to track down his son in law who he believes murdered his daughter. Sje was stated to have overdosed but the old man doesn’t believe it. His wife has left him and then passed away, his daughter is murdered or so he believes and his other daughter and friends think he needs to let it go but he just cannot.
He drags Annie into helping him find his son in law and they discover a connection from a mysterious stranger that is all of a sudden everywhere Annie turns. Far away from home in an unfriendly and unforgiving country, far from friends and family and with no support from her husband who wants her to leave this old man alone Annie must decide what to do.
Thank you Algonquin book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I give this book 4.5/5 stars.

Well, I know that I could never take on a task like that. At least not in the way she did it. Backpacking 1100 miles from California to the Oregon/Washington border. Sleeping outside, meeting strangers, crossing paths with rattlesnakes, watching black bears walk by. But she went into the wilderness totally unprepared. Her shoes were too small, her pack was too heavy and financially(who needs money when they're backpacking?)
All of these and more obstacles she overcame in order to accomplish the task at hand. Hiking the PCT.
It leads to a book kids will love. The mystery is strong, and the codes help propel the story forward. There’s a code in almost every chapter the reader is invited to solve (the solution is at the back of the book). At the end, there is more information on codes that kids can use after they’ve finished reading the story. The characters are a little thin, but that’s something only adults will care about. The target middle grade audience will love this book.
