The Perfect Guests, by Emma Rous
4.0
This book is told in two different parts and times.
In 2019 we meet Sadie whose a struggling actress, she’s excited when she gets a job offer she can’t turn down, the job is she gets to pretend she’s a guest at a murder mystery party! She will have to travel to the location since it’s being held at an old manor named Raven Hall. Sadie is barely making ends meet and doesn’t even have enough for this months rent. So she heads to the manor.
In 1988 we meet Beth she’s now an orphaned after a horrible accident takes her family from her. Her aunt decides that the best place for her is to stay with the Averells Family. The Averells are looking for someone who can be friends with their daughter Nina. Immediately Nina and Beth become fast friends and they even call each other sisters. At times Beth feels likes she’s part of the family, other times she’s feels like something is odd is going on, her and Nina are told they can’t go into town, and when the Averells ask her to participate in an odd game she doesn’t know what to think. Soon an accident happens that changes everything. we find ourselves wondering how is Beths story connected with Sadie’s? I was immediately drawn into the story filled with twists and turns over two time periods , I was amazed how the author built the story and the characters, and she had me wondering how is this all going to connect. I’m giving this four stars!
