The Perfect Guests by Emma Rous
4.0
This was a fun one! I loved The Au Pair and The Perfect Guests was just as satisfying!
Sometimes you just need to get out of your head and read a fun thriller that may seem a bit implausible and too tidy, but it hits all the nerves the right way and is just a fun experience, so you can thrown all plausibility out the window.
Just sit back and enjoy the ride as past and present collide in this one.
Past - an orphaned girl is "adopted" by the family who lives at Raven Hall, a gothic manor that is hiding some truly chilling secrets. But is there an ulterior motive to this adoption? Me thinks so! And Present - 30 years later Raven Hall is transformed into a Murder Mystery party setting where a struggling actress takes a job at this grand mansion, but the mystery game is not the only one at play.
I scrambled through this one because it was such a unique story and I literally had NO idea what was happening and HAD to find out. It was a fun and enjoyable read and while the end tied up in some pretty neat and tidy bows - they were FUN bows and I'm not mad about it!
It's a fun and twisty puzzle and I enjoyed playing the game!
