The Perfect Guests by Emma Rous
3.0
After years of abandonment, Raven Hall has been restored to its former glory. For one night only, it is playing host to an evening of murder mystery. The guests have gathered. The roles have been cast. But someone is playing a sinister game, one with devastating consequences. And as the guests are about to discover, the truth is much darker than fiction.
Emma Rous knows how to write a thriller that keeps you guessing. She tells the story from the perspective of Beth, who in 1988 grew up in Raven Hall as a guest invited into the family; and Sadie, in 2019, who has been invited to Raven Hall for the Murder Mystery, in the guise of it being an acting job.
It was a really interesting story that keeps you guessing throughout. I wasn’t quite as wowed and excited by the ending/reveal as I was by The Au Pair. If you’re after a good ‘thriller’ type book that won’t leave you with nightmares, it’s a great option!
