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

This felt like such a lazy way to end a story - I personally am NOT a fan of having an entire story told from the protagonists pov, only to use an epilogue to share an entirely alternate “real” version of events from that same pov.

Lazy “twist” at end

I so enjoyed the performance, the characters, the plot, however, though the end twist is fun, I wish it had continued to a more satisfying conclusion. Perhaps B.A.Paris will provide us a sequel that has a better ending

Everything but the end

not bad, just a lot of conversation and not much happening, I was losing interest and aost didn't finish, but if you hold out to the end it's worth it.

the epilogue redeemed the entire book
