An intriguing cast, an isolated location, a raging storm and the threat of death in every dark corner: An Unwanted Guest reads like Agatha Christie with a shot of adrenalin. I just deleted a paragraph from my review because anything I say from here on out will give too much away. Shari Lapena is the internationally bestselling author of the thrillers The Couple Next Door, A Stranger in the House, An Unwanted Guest, Someone We Know, The End of Her, Not a Happy Family and Everyone Here is Lying which have all been Sunday Times and New York Times bestsellers. But a double dose of three-month colic and a half-absent husband is squeezing the life out of this new mum.

if you’re one of the many people who counts [ And Then There Were None] among their favorite books, you will love An Unwanted Guest. Precisamente por el final se me ha desintegrado la quinta estrella, pero conocer a Shari ha merecido La pena. Both of them suffer from sleep deprivation and their only problem was not adjusting to be new parents. That’s because Erica, disgusting piece of human scum that she is, is also running a racket on two other couples at the same time (related to the main storyline, but I won’t say how) and every so often there would be these other perspectives randomly inserted into the narrative.And her quote "Now we know how" when they were talking about love suggests that he realizes that Amy is his "her. Her thrillers A Stranger in the House, An Unwanted Guest, Someone We Know and The End of Her were all Sunday Times and New York Times bestsellers.

The author gave us one of the most hatable characters: A mashup of Maleficent- Baby Jane Hudson- Nurse Ratched-Wicked Witch of the West-Cersei Lannister. That is a massive shame because there were definitely a number of positive aspects, especially the level of suspense, but the ending was such that it caused irretrievable damage. Dear Catherine, I've been sitting here thinking about all the things I wanted to apologize to you for.I've read all but one of Shari Lapena's thrillers and this book was definitely the biggest page turner of the bunch.

Shari Lapena is the internationally bestselling author of the thrillers The Couple Next Door, A Stranger in the House, An Unwanted Guest, Someone We Know, The End of Her, Not a Happy Family, and Everyone Here Is Lying, which have all been New York Times and The Sunday Times (London) bestsellers.He could have been developed slightly more however, as the story closed without giving a full picture of the type of person he is. And that wouldn't be good-the twins only go down for about half an hour in the morning, and the difficulty of rousing herself after such a short time won't be worth it.

But now, Erica has tracked Patrick down with the intent to extort him, claiming to know what really happened. I too believe that Ted went to Amy because 1) she understood on a certain level what he was going through, and 2) they had a very brief 'relationship" in college so she was the logical choice post-Sam.Dysfunctional marriages provide the backdrop for this workmanlike domestic thriller from Lapena ( Someone We Know). But I didn’t feel I knew Stephanie (or any of the other main characters) any better at the end than the start of the story.
