An Unwanted Guest

Product Information

The Couple Next Door was one that I was looking forward to reading after hearing great things about it, and whilst I did enjoy it, I didn’t really understand the hype. It's a place for lovers to enjoy time together, a place where an Author can work on her book, a man can enjoy some alone time, friends can re-connect, and for a couple in an unhappy marriage can take a look at their marriage in a beautiful setting. Each viewpoint was quite short and due to the large cast of characters, they were all quite one dimensional. Disclaimer: Many thanks to the author Shari Lapena, publisher Penguin, and Edelweiss for the opportunity to read and review. With the right communication style, you can easily take control of your living situation without being rude.

When the weather takes a turn for the worse, and a blizzard cuts off the electricity--and all contact with the outside world--the guests settle in for the long haul.Tell them you’re busy by saying something like, “It’s nice to see you, but I really need to tidy the house.

A large cast of characters trapped in a remote hotel during a snowstorm with no electricity or cell service? stars — I admit I was fairly critical of Shari Lapena’s first two books, but the writing ability and fast paced writing style of the author caused me to read her latest book “An Unwanted Guest” in just 6 days.Thank you to Edelweiss, Penguin/ Pamela Dorman Books and Shari Lapena for my copy to read and review.

Shari Lapena, author of the bestsellers A Stranger in the House and The Couple Next Door, cements her reputation as a new queen of mystery with her latest thriller. The suspense and tension rises when bodies start to drop like flies and we started questioning just who was the unwanted guest. I had no problem visualizing the setting and felt Lapena’s descriptions were sufficient - not overly descriptive but also not too sparse. Plus, if you co-signed on the lease or co-own the home together, they have just as much legal right to stay on the premises as you do, regardless of whether they’re “pulling their weight. The fourth view is Lauren Day driving with Ian Beeton when they spot a car on the side of the road and stopping to help.So when the weather takes a turn for the worse, and a blizzard cuts off the electricity--and all contact with the outside world--the guests settle in for the long haul. No matter how you tell them their time at your place is over, be sure to give them a deadline by which they must be gone. Norma and I were lost in a Coulee reading An Unwanted Guest with seven of our Traveling Sisters and overall we all had very similar thoughts on this one. Thank you so much to Edelweiss, Penguin Publishing Group and Shari Lapena for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for a review!
