Summary

Suspense. Secrets. Suspicion. Scandal. Storytelling that will keep you guessing until the very end. THE GUEST is the nerve-shredding new novel from the author of global bestseller BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

Iris and Gabriel have just got home from a make-or-break holiday. But a shock awaits them. One of their dearest friends, Laure, is in their house - sleeping in their bed, wearing Iris' clothes, even rearranging the furniture. She has walked out on her husband - and their good friend - Pierre over his confession of an affair.

Iris and Gabriel want to be supportive. But as Laure's mood becomes more unpredictable, her presence begins to unravel secrets in all their pasts - until things reach breaking point...

Unfortunately not believable. Could have been great

Was way too far fetched. As if she would get away with all that. Popping across to Paris to kill someone like a day trip to the butlins. Load of tosh.

Plot twist

I began to think I’d made a mistake and this story was a bit too easy going for my taste …. But the plot thickens !! And then thickens again ….

Good fun listen

Characters were likeable and it was an easy listen. However, aspects of it were unbelievable including the fact that the 1 couple are linked to 3 murders and are never really looked at as suspects. However, it did have some twists and turns that you won't see coming, which i enjoyed. All in all quite entertaining.

ending was good

the twist at the end was good but I didn't really enjoy the rest of the book much. the narrator didn't really grip my attention and the story was just ok. I kept listening because I didn't want to waste the credit and wanted to know the ending, but I wouldn't recommend it

A slow burn with a good twist to end.

I enjoyed this story for the most part, easy listening and narrated well. I almost gave up half way through as I found it quite slow and without direction but perhaps this was deliberate as the twist came unexpectedly. Perhaps not as fast paced as my usual choice but overall, a worthy purchase & recommended.
