OVERSTAYING YOUR WELCOME COULD BE DEADLY
THE BIG THRILL INTERVIEWS BESTSELLING AUTHOR B.A. PARIS
Seven people, four best friends. At least one of them is a murderer.
New York Times bestselling author B.A. Paris once again pushes comfort-zone boundaries in her newest sinister thriller, THE GUEST.
Iris and Gabriel have enjoyed over 20 years of marriage and were blessed with a daughter, now grown. After finding a local teenager who fell into a nearby quarry, Gabriel’s long-fought depression returns when the teen dies as Gabriel tries to comfort him. Iris and Gabriel go away on holiday to combat his depression and job burnout, but when they return, they find their longtime friend, Laure, making herself at home in their house, even wearing Iris’s pajamas.
Laure confides to them that her husband, Pierre—Gabriel’s oldest friend—recently had a baby with another woman, so she left him. But why won’t Pierre answer Gabriel’s phone calls?
As Laure makes herself a more permanent resident at Iris and Gabriel’s house, the three befriend Hugh and Esme, a new couple now living down the street. They seem nice enough, but Joseph—their live-in gardener with a sketchy background—appears enamored with all three women. As their lives collide, it becomes clear their connections are more entwined—and complicated—than any of them could guess. And the truth of what’s happened between the seven players will shock you.
