Summary

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

'Tense, compulsive and gripping, The Perfect Guest is uncomfortable in the best possible way' Charlotte Levin

'I devoured this book' Sophie Flynn

'So bloody good' Laura Pearson

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 . . .

Compelling story telling

This author is new to me, but so glad to have discovered her work. Really compelling storyline which kept me guessing almost to the end, highly recommended.

Well done

Excellent narration, probably the best I heard so far. The story was gripping, a bit far fetched, but an enjoyable listen!

Really really good - beautifully read

Such an incredible book. I half read, half listened to it but LOVED the narration. Some of the moments give you a sharp intake for Diana (Dinah) but they’re so well written. The descriptions of the different locations, people and scares are so well done, you can really imagine it, brilliant book, finished in a day.
