Tense. Unpredictable. Unputdownable. Shari Lapena's novels are domestic noir at its finest.
Simon Kernick
An intriguing cast, an isolated location, a raging storm and the threat of death in every dark corner: An Unwanted Guest reads like Agatha Christie with a shot of adrenalin. Clear your desk before you start it because you won't want to put it down.
Gilly Macmillan, author of BURNT PAPER SKY
[An Unwanted Guest] once again shows her gift for smart characterisation combined with a subtle appreciation for the darkness of the human heart . . . A perfectly choreographed danse macabre.
