The Guest by Cathryn Grant is a psychological thriller that had me engaged and guessing until the very end. I had my theories but they changed a few times throughout the book. The ending really got me though. Great read!

The Guest by Cathryn Grant is a suspenseful whodunit that had me gripped from the outset. I appreciate a thriller that will keep me guessing until the very end, with bonus points for shock value. This one certainly delivers.

Ellie and her husband Seth have two children, Brandon and Simone. Life appears to be good, and the family ticks along quite comfortably. One day, seemingly out of the blue, Seth introduces the family to the mysterious Ace, who soon takes up temporary residence. His motives are unclear, but Ellie senses immediately that their new guest will irrevocably alter her family's course forever.

This is a fast-paced read that had me unsettled and on edge from the very start. I love a good mystery that features a stranger at the centre of it all, and I was pleasantly surprised by the many twists and jaw dropping moments of revelation. Very well played Ms Grant.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Inkubator Books for this ARC.

Ellie has a successful job and a beautiful family, so things should be great - but recently, her husband Seth seems to have something on his mind, and then he invites a stranger, Ace, to stay with them. Ellie isn't sure what to think of Ace - she finds herself attracted to him, but fears he has a hidden agenda. Then a school girl is murdered and police question Ellie's son Brandon. Can her son be guilty? Or could Ace be involved? The answers just might reveal a secret that will change Ellie's life forever... A gripping thriller that keeps you guessing to the end and then the ending will shock you. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance copy of the book in return for my honest feedback.
