Title: The Guest
Author: B.A. Paris
Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton
Publication Date: February, 2023
Genre: Thriller
Pages: 320
My Rating: ★★★☆☆
Behind Closed Doors was a 5* read for me, so I was excited to read another by B.A. Paris. Unfortunately, this just didn’t hit the mark. The pace was frustratingly slow, all the characters were pretty unlikeable and the storyline just felt a bit boring. No twists, no turns at all until the epilogue, and by the time the epilogue came, I was almost past caring. The epilogue, however, was fantastic, it pulled it all together and had me turning the pages so fast. It definitely redeemed a star there. It’s just such a shame the rest of the book didn’t marry up to it.
Thank you to NetGalley and Hodder & Stoughton for my advanced copy.
