About this listen

She stayed in your house. Now she wants your life.

We all have that friend—the one who doesn't quite belong. Dinah Marshall is that person and knows it. After someone drops out, she's invited to spend the weekend at a luxury holiday home with women she's known since university. However, the gulf between them has widened since then, and Dinah is conscious of being the only one with no money, career, partner or children. Feeling like an outsider, she takes to snooping around the house. She's fascinated by its owners, Sarah and Isaac Rivers—and when she discovers she can secretly stay an extra night, that fascination quickly spirals into obsession.

When Isaac Rivers meets 'Diana Malone' at an exclusive members club, he introduces her to his wife and friends, and she's soon welcomed into the group. She seems to be trying a little too hard, however, and as her somewhat intense behaviour starts to raise both eyebrows and questions, one of her new acquaintances begins to suspect she isn't who she says she is. For Diana—or is it Dinah?—this is a disaster: she's worked hard to get where she has, and these suspicions threaten everything. But Diana isn't the only one with secrets, and if she's going down, then she might just take everyone else with her…

Ruth Irons' "The Perfect Guest" is indeed a captivating audiobook The story revolves around Dinah Marshall, who becomes obsessed with the owners of a luxury holiday home she's invited to. As she digs deeper, her fascination turns into an intense obsession to take over their lives. With its complexellent and gripping narrative by the brilliant Stephanie Racine, this is perfect for those seeking British {a preferred choice of mine} thrillers. Not a big problem, however, the plot does slow down midway through. But stick with it as that did not deter me from finishing. Worth a cherished Audible credit, however, I lucked out and chose it at no cost via my monthly Amazon Music subscription. If you're in the mood for a captivating listen, "The Perfect Guest" is a must-have.

Intriguing, engrossing, spectacular

Love the character development and storyline. Good psychological thriller, keeping you engaged with multiple characters and their personalities and secrets. Also quite possibly the best audio performance I have ever listened to.

Couldn't put it down and 11/10 audio performance !!!

It took me awhile to get through this book. It had some good parts but overall I want my credit back lol

Boring

Psychological thriller? Not so much. Domestic thriller? Perhaps. The story is way too long because of some repetitiveness but mostly because of the elaboration of insignificant details. While I enjoyed the overall story, I’m guessing that it isn’t going to be a memorable one for me and therefore not one that I will be readily recommending.

Good but I didn’t Love It

The story was great and I did not find it predictable at all. I’m not sure why it got any negative reviews especially considering the price. The narration was phenomenal!

Great free “read”

The author captured the delicious uncomfortableness of first person narrative when that character is unbalanced. But the climactic scenes were just ridiculous. Could have been great with a better editor and more time to formulate the story.

Great Start, then WHAT?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Although it was easy reading ( or listening ), it was well written as well as performed brilliantly.

Great Story

It gets interesting when you make it about halfway through. Twisty ending you won’t see coming. But it’s almost so twisted it leaves you with questions.

Slow Start

I enjoyed this book from start to finish! What a great ride of twists and turns. Full of surprises.

Riveting plot

I really am looking forward to her new novel being released this summer. Her stories draw you in
