Shari Lapena wraps An Unwanted Guest in icy, treacherous roads, power outages, howling winds, snapped off tree branches, and oh by the way.....MURDER. A quiet hotel in the midst of winter, contrasting personalities put together, and murderous events happening over the course of a weekend makes up this chilling and suspenseful murder mystery by Shari Lapena. Lapena is known for her novels, The Couple Next Door and A Stranger in the House—a mixture of dialogue with strange, unique characters, and mysteries that keep you guessing until the very end of the book. But, An Unwanted Guest is most definitely her best novel yet. Apart from the plot, the characters are very well crafted. Each character looks like a suspect and you are no closer to solving the mystery, till the very end. The pacing in this book was perfect. I felt the ending was well explained though it offers very little clues beforehand. Lapena does a great job of building suspense and leaving enough unanswered questions about each character. Try to be polite. For example, say “We’ve really enjoyed having you stay with us, but its best for everyone if you move on to your next destination.” And without spoiling, I have to say the very last chapter left me with a grin of pleasure on my face. It was perfect! The last little twist left me giddy with excitement. I can’t wait for readers to discover this book!

The story takes place at Mitchell’s Inn in upstate New York. It’s the weekend and guests start arriving at the lodge for a short getaway. They are looking forward to spending a wonderful time in this charming and cozy inn. Take small steps to make your home less inviting. There are small things you can do to make your home a whole lot less attractive to stay at. And while these things might seem small to you, they might be enough to get your house guest to reconsider their living plans. This week we are looking at two words which may be confused by learners of English: produce and product. Improve your English with Collins. Is that unwanted guest an untidy person? Just make them a list of specific chores. Make sure that the chores shouldn’t be too hard but they need to be constant. For example: changing the baby, vacuuming the house, walking the dog, mowing the lawn, etc. I’m sure nobody on vacation is interested in having their hands worked like that. 11. Tell Them Someone Else Is Going To Stay

I have some really great Book Buds who love her work, so I said I would give her another shot. You know, in the spirit of friendship. Shari Lapena is not for me. After I read, The Couple Next Door, which I immensely disliked, I didn't think I would ever read another book from this author. I was wrong. I gave An Unwanted Guest, another chance because the premise sounded promising, and believable.... First, you should apologize and tell them that you do not want to be impolite. Try not to be rude. Then, convey your feelings so your guests understand that you have done hanging out. 14. Limit Their Access To Your Computer An odd ball cast of characters decide to spend the weekend at Mitchell's Inn. This decision they will all soon regret when the guests start dropping like flies. Reminiscent of Agatha Christie but not nearly as impressive we've got a whodunnit where every one becomes a suspect. This book would be the perfect winter read when cozying up by the fire, while it’s storming outside, or trying to figure out a puzzling mystery within this book. I loved the Agatha Christie vibe throughout this entire book. When I say that though, it’s got a more And Then There Were None type of feel. A bunch of strangers are together during a certain amount days, and slowly, one by one, a guest gets murdered.
