About this listen

She stayed in your house. Now she wants your life . . .

'Tense, compulsive and gripping, The Perfect Guest is uncomfortable in the best possible way' Charlotte Levin

'I devoured this book' Sophie Flynn

'So bloody good' Laura Pearson

We all have that friend - the one who doesn't quite belong. Dinah Marshall is that person and knows it. After someone drops out, she's invited to spend the weekend at a luxury holiday home with women she's known since university. However, the gulf between them has widened since then, and Dinah is conscious of being the only one with no money, career, partner or children. Feeling like an outsider, she takes to snooping around the house. She's fascinated by its owners, Sarah and Isaac Rivers - and when she discovers she can secretly stay an extra night, that fascination quickly spirals into obsession.

When Isaac Rivers meets 'Diana Malone' at an exclusive members club, he introduces her to his wife and friends, and she's soon welcomed into the group. She seems to be trying a little too hard, however, and as her somewhat intense behaviour starts to raise both eyebrows and questions, one of her new acquaintances begins to suspect she isn't who she says she is. For Diana - or is it Dinah? -this is a disaster: she's worked hard to get where she has, and these suspicions threaten everything. But Diana isn't the only one with secrets, and if she's going down, then she might just take everyone else with her . . .

Really enjoyable and addictive

Lovely unreliable narrator thriller, pacy and gripping from the off. Brilliantly performed. Really enjoyed this!

Absolutely loved it!

Too many books like this are carelessly churned out. There’s a real sense that this one has been painstakingly put together. All of the characters are vivid and well-drawn. The writing itself is excellent - sophisticated without being inaccessible. This is her first novel; I can’t wait for the next one.

Great story, distracted by narrators accent

Loved the story, but absolutely could not cope with being knocked back to reality over and over again by the narrator inexplicably pronouncing 'room' as 'rum'.

Well done

Excellent narration, probably the best I heard so far. The story was gripping, a bit far fetched, but an enjoyable listen!
