About this listen

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.

“A mesmeric, tense and twisting nightmare. Suffocating, controlled and hugely entertaining.”—Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of We Begin at the End

The Ending wasn’t expected

The story seems to drag a bit and honestly all the best parts were in the epilogue.

Eventful!

So many twists kept me guessing what was going to happen next. The end left me speechless.

Long winded and boring

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

A brilliant storyteller

B.A.Paris never disappoints. Just when I thought I had it figured out, this story had twists I didn’t see coming.

Not believable

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

Very surprising twist at end explains all

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!
