Summary:

Laila and her husband arrive for a week’s holiday in Greece in desperate need of a reset.

As Laila sits by the pool she finds herself inexplicably drawn to the other family staying in their resort.

Em has no idea who Laila is, or that she has been watching her and her teenage sons and husband so intently.

Five days later Em’s world will be blown apart by a horrifying event.

Laila thinks she knows the truth of what happened. But in telling Em what she’s seen, she stands to lose everything she holds dear.

And what if she’s got it wrong?

Review:

As soon as I saw the cover of The Other Guest I thought – that looks like a perfectly addictive summer thriller – and it totally is. If you are jetting off somewhere sun soaked and are looking for something to read by the pool then I highly recommend this book.

The story follows Laila, a woman on holiday in Greece with her husband, as she does something I think many of us are partial to – people watching. From there however things take a more tense and ultimately fatal turn as a slow burn mystery unravels. I was completely taken in by the twisty nature of the plot and had absolutely no idea where things were headed. I raced through the book – desperate to know the truth! Full of suspense, red herrings and mysterious characters, The Orher Guest is a deliciously addictive thriller I would definitely recommend.
