I loved The Guest by B.A. Paris! This was a one day read for me, as are most of Paris’s thrillers, because once I start I can not stop until I find out what happens. Iris and Gabriel are already having a tough summer when one of their oldest friends unexpectedly shows up at their house, also in the midst of a crisis. What could have been a beautiful summer filled with friends and fun times, was marred with tragedies and mysteries from both the past and present. This kept me guessing until the end! Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC!

I love B.A. Paris books so this was a no-brainer request for me! Iris and Gabriel are a happy couple and daughter Beth is in Greece doing humanitarian work when they meet Esme and Hugh who've just had baby Hamish. Gabriel is hiding a secret about Charlie, a young boy he discovered at the bottom of a quarry who died in his arms and is petulant at home which worries Iris. But their new friendship with Esme and Hugh brings them joy, as does friend Laure who has come to stay with them after her husband, Pierre admits he fathered a child with someone else. And from here the secrets begin to pile up...as do the lies and convoluted tales that each tells himself "may" be true! This is.a thriller to end all as I found myself gasping at each turn of the page!
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!

B.A.Paris does not disappoint!
This is a stupendous twisty domestic thriller so perfectly created and plotted that I am breathless.

Iris and Gabriel begrudgingly take on a house guest when Laure, of their closest couple friends turns up from leaving her husband Pierre Pierre has revealed a secret child in an argument and wants to stay with them while she determines her next steps. Soon Laure's few days turns to a few weeks and Iris and Gabriel are looking for any excuse to get out of the house. Fortunately Iris befriends a new couple in the village. Before long they are sharing everything, even their gardener. But when someone dies, there are just too many coincidences and too many secrets. If you like domestic thrillers don't pass this up! It's utterly perfect!

The twists and turns in the plot are cleverly executed, with revelations that challenge preconceived notions and keep the narrative engaging. The author's ability to maintain a high level of suspense while gradually unraveling the truth is commendable.

, "The Guest" is a suspenseful and thrilling read that will captivate fans of psychological thrillers. B.A. Paris demonstrates her mastery of the genre through skillful storytelling, well-drawn characters, and unexpected plot twists. Prepare to be kept on the edge of your seat as you delve into the dark and twisted secrets that lie within "The Guest."

These creepy house guests never do your marriage any favors!

You know the deal. Iris looks like she has it all together. Not so much her girl Laure. Iris takes pity on Laure. Laure gets weird. Iris’s manicured life falls apart bit by bit. Until, The Big Secret.

Clearly familiar comfort-reading, like catnip to some of us, with B.A. Paris as one of the original mavens of the genre. I devoured it in one night! Delicious!
