    About this audiobook

    New York Times bestselling author B. A. Paris captivated psychological thriller readers everywhere with Behind Closed Doors. Now she invites you into another home full of heart-pounding secrets, in The Guest.

    Some secrets never leave.

    Iris and Gabriel have just arrived home from a make-or-break holiday. But a shock awaits them. One of their closest friends, Laure, is in their house. The atmosphere quickly becomes tense as she oversteps again and again: sleeping in their bed, wearing Iris' clothes, even rearranging the furniture.

    Laure has walked out on her husband—and their good friend—Pierre, over his confession of an affair and a secret child. Iris and Gabriel want to be supportive of their friends, but as Laure's mood becomes increasingly unpredictable, her presence takes its toll.

    Iris and Gabriel's only respite comes in the form of a couple new to town. But with them comes their gardener, who has a checkered past.

    Soon, secrets from all their pasts will unravel, some more dangerous than they could have known.

    A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

      I enjoyed the Story, until a few chapters before the end.
      I have to admit I was disappointed in the Identity of the Villain...
      Talk about a surprise ending!
    • 5/5
      Oh my goodness!!!!!!
      Amazing!
      I really thought I had it all figured out. How wrong I was!
    • 5/5
      Great twist at the end. Never suspected... highly recommend to all
    • 5/5
      I didn't figure it out this time..well written and narrated..lots of family n friend drama
    • 4/5
      I didn't guess the twist! And that almost never happens!
    • 4/5
      There are lots of secrets going on here - which I expect in a B.A. Paris book. It's difficult to say much about what did and didn't work for me personally, because as fans of psychological thrillers will recognize, it's far too easy to inadvertently reveal too much about the plot and characters. And no doubt what didn't work for me is someone else's ideal read. I'll just say that it might well have been a 3- or 3.5-star read for me, but the excellent narration by Emily Joyce bumped it up to 4 stars. All in all I liked this book - didn't love it, but I liked it.
      Thanks to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for providing a copy for an unbiased review.

      Mixed feelings about this one. I think it was well written. It caught my attention early on but just dragged on a bit too long.
