The Overnight Guest by Heather Gudenkauf

tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

3.5

The Overnight Guest by @heathergudenkauf is one of my favorite reads in a long time! I love a good twisty book and this delivered. I kept going back & forth on who "did it" - I was right, then wrong, then right, then unsure. When reading, I love visualizing the book as a movie. With the converging storylines and twists, I don't know if the surprise factor would be the same on screen. I'd definitely recommend this book (trigger warning: includes SA & DV). 

Spoiler-free Summary: True crime writer, Wylie, is snowed in at an isolated farmhouse (where a family was murdered decades before) during a major storm. But everything changes when she discovers a small child in the snow.
