AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
Another thrilling domestic suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door and Not a Happy Family
“A gripping mystery perfect for fans of Agatha Christie.”–Good Housekeeping
“Another nail-biter perfect for an all-nighter.”–Entertainment Weekly
A weekend retreat at a cozy mountain lodge is supposed to be the perfect getaway . . . but when the storm hits, no one is getting away
It's winter in the Catskills and Mitchell's Inn, nestled deep in the woods, is the perfect setting for a relaxing—maybe even romantic—weekend away. It boasts spacious old rooms with huge woodburning fireplaces, a well-stocked wine cellar, and opportunities for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or just curling up with a good murder mystery.
So when the weather takes a turn for the worse, and a blizzard cuts off the electricity—and all contact with the outside world—the guests settle in and try to make the best of it.
Soon, though, one of the guests turns up dead—it looks like an accident. But when a second guest dies, they start to panic.
Within the snowed-in paradise, something—or someone—is picking off the guests one by one. And there's nothing they can do but hunker down and hope they can survive the storm—and one another.

The story started great, I thought it would be an exciting murder mystery and it just fell off once the cops got there at the end. Like ok, here is the killer, here is why, the end.
Just Eh.

Mitchell's Inn is so delightful, a cozy lodge nestled deep in the woods is perfect for a relaxing - maybe even romantic - weekend away. But when the weather takes a turn for the worse and a blizzard cuts off the electricity all the guests can do is hunker down and wait for help.
With no way to contact the outside world and bodies turning up left and right, for some couples, this is their first time away, for others it may just be their last.

This book held everything I love about a snowy whodunit mystery novel. I just love these types of locked room mystery novels. I want to read them all 😂
* A snowy setting
* A cozy inn
* Horrible weather making it unable to leave
* Isolation
* Characters getting killed one by one
* Fast paced
Such awesome things to be happy about. Sadly, I was not satisfied with the killer's motive and reasonings. When it was explained I was like really?? All that for just that?
I will say that someone else dies & not by that killer and that death explanation was perfection!
Brillant locked room mystery novel, ending eh

With An Unwanted Guest, an unexpected murder mystery takes place in a hotel during a cold brisk storm. This was THE PERFECT winter read (weird that the publishers put it out during the summer, but I’m so glad I waited to listen to it during the cold months).
Lapena has this a gift of telling detailed and sensible 3rd person narratives with multiple character perspectives. I was never confused as which speaker was speaking because of the writing. Thank goodness, because the narrator’s voices sounded similar, so I couldn’t rely on just the narrator.
The ending was somewhat choppy—the murderer had a good motive, but I found that motive to come out of left field—almost made the author unreliable in a way. But I like unreliable narrators/authors, so that doesn’t bother me terribly.
Overall, I would listen to this again. Can’t wait for more Lapena!!!!
I need more Shari Lapena in my life
