"Ferocious and irresistible, The Guest House is a compelling story that explores just how much a parent is willing to sacrifice for their child. Morgan-Bentley is a master of the curveball, hitting us with thrill after thrill that this reader definitely did not see coming. The cherry on top was the blood-freezing epilogue. I'll be thinking about it for weeks!" -- Stephanie Wrobel, USA Today bestselling author of Darling Rose Gold and This Might Hurt, "Robin Morgan-Bentley is a master of the reader's comment of, 'I didn't see that coming!'" -- Joy Ellis, bestselling author of The Night Thief, "Just take all those accolades used for thrillers--unputdownable, twisty, dark, chilling, vivid, explosive, intense--and heap them on. Because this book is that good. That credible. And that terrifying... but be warned: as soon as you think you know what this story is about, Morgan-Bentley flips the narrative, providing an even scarier turn. Unusual for crime fiction, which rarely includes characters with disabilities, Jamie has cerebral palsy, and his challenges with movement and balance give the book an even greater realism. While this novel is perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Emma Rowley, and Lisa Jewell, really, it's in a class by itself." -- First Clue,STARRED Review, "Jamie and Victoria think they have time for one last vacation before their baby arrives. What they encounter is a remote retreat they can't escape when the baby comes earlier than expected.
