Suspense. Secrets. Suspicion. Scandal. Storytelling that will keep you guessing until the very end. THE GUEST is the nerve-shredding new novel from the author of global bestseller BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

Iris and Gabriel have just got home from a make-or-break holiday. But a shock awaits them. One of their dearest friends, Laure, is in their house - sleeping in their bed, wearing Iris' clothes, even rearranging the furniture. She has walked out on her husband - and their good friend - Pierre over his confession of an affair.

Iris and Gabriel want to be supportive. But as Laure's mood becomes more unpredictable, her presence begins to unravel secrets in all their pasts - until things reach breaking point ...

Critic reviews

Another gripping psychological thriller from BA Paris
A mesmeric, tense and twisting nightmare. Suffocating, controlled and hugely entertaining
Expertly plotted and compellingly told . . . I raced through it
B. A. Paris is a mistress at weaving family with fear, suspense and subterfuge
Packing with tension and nail-bitingly real, I couldn't put it down!
Deliciously creepy and gripping
Addictive, gripping . . . with a twist that will knock your socks off!
All stars

I did not like the story as well as I've liked Paris's The Breakdown and Behind Closed Doors, which were excellent.
The reader has a beautiful accent but I prefer a less animated style of reading where the deeper interpretations are left to the listener.

Good story, reader too animated
