New York Times bestselling author B. A. Paris captivated psychological thriller fans everywhere with Behind Closed Doors. Now she invites you into another home full of heart-pounding secrets, in The Guest.

Some secrets never leave.

Iris and Gabriel have just arrived home from a make-or-break holiday. But a shock awaits them. One of their closest friends, Laure, is in their house. The atmosphere quickly becomes tense as she oversteps again and again: sleeping in their bed, wearing Iris' clothes, even rearranging the furniture.

Laure has walked out on her husband—and their good friend—Pierre, over his confession of an affair and a secret child. Iris and Gabriel want to be supportive of their friends, but as Laure's mood becomes increasingly unpredictable, her presence takes its toll.

Iris and Gabriel's only respite comes in the form of a couple new to town. But with them comes their gardener, who has a checkered past.

Soon, secrets from all their pasts will unravel, some more dangerous than they could have known.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

This had a predictable twist at the end but was mostly disjointed and largely too drawn out.

Long winded and boring

So slow for most of the book , I began to wonder if this was a slice of life story. The ending was preposterous.

Not believable

It was interesting, you kept making guesses as the story unfolded, but they didn't tell who "who done it" until the very end. Until that point I thought it was so so, but after the ending I was totally shocked!

Very surprising twist at end explains all
