‘OMG… Incredible… Once I started, I couldn’t put down and simply had to read in one sitting… I loved this fast-paced, captivating thriller and would happily give it more than five stars if I could… Definitely one of my favourite reads of this year.’ Nicki’s Life of Crime ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You think you’re safe in your home. You’re wrong.
When Steph’s husband of thirty years, Andy, walks out with barely a word of explanation, she’s left alone in the family home. Both of her children moved out years before. And although her daughter visits often, it’s not enough. Her house doesn’t feel like the warm, happy, laughter-filled home it used to be.
Then she begins to hear noises in the night, finds open windows she knows she left closed, items moved. None of it feels right. She wants to believe it’s all in her imagination. After all, who would want to scare her? She’s never hurt a person in her life.
But then her front window is smashed, and a young man named Noah helps her fix it. He’s fallen on hard times and Steph impulsively offers him a place to stay. He reminds her so much of her beloved son, and she wants to help him. Also, if he is there, she won’t be home alone.
Before long Noah is living in her daughter’s old bedroom, paying rent, and getting his life back on track. Andy and her daughter are furious. But Steph feels secure at last, and that’s what matters.
Until the strange things start happening once more.
And Steph realises that someone is out to scare her…
She doesn’t feel safe, not safe at all.

Customer Reviews
The Guest Room.
Steph’s husband has left her and she is trying to get her life back together when strange things start to happen in her home. She is convinced that someone is out to frighten her or to do her harm.
Steph works with homeless people and she takes in a young man as a lodger until he finds a permanent home. Her husband and daughter are extremely unhappy about this and tell Steph that she has to tell him to leave.
Lots of suspects in this story to choose from but I guessed the guilty party quite early on.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review.
Brilliant Read
Totally gripping from the start, I couldn’t stop reading
