The Guest

Description

The Guest by B.A. Paris
Iris and Gabriel Pelly return from what they hope will be a make-or-break holiday, only to find their old friend Laure in their home — sleeping in their bed, wearing Iris’s clothes, and rearranging their furniture. Laure has fled her husband, Pierre, after discovering his affair and secret child, and claims she just needs space. But as she overstays her welcome, her presence becomes unsettling and begins to unspool old secrets. Meanwhile, Gabriel is haunted by a past tragedy — the death of a boy he once tried to save — and his guilt threatens his relationships. Add in new neighbours, a gardener with a shady history, and secrets that run deeper than any of them suspected, and what seemed like hospitality turns into a sinister equation of betrayal, manipulation, and danger.
