THE HOUSE GUEST  by  MARK EDWARDS





My Rating: ★★


Adam and Ruth are house-sitting in New York for a couple whom they met on a cruise. When Eden, a harmless looking young woman, turns up on the doorstep claiming to be a friend of the homeowners they see no reason to turn her away.

Instead they invite Eden to stay until the homeowners’ return. But then Ruth goes missing and Eden may not be who she claims to be, Adam realizes that they’ve made a terrible mistake…

This plot was just so random! While it started off well and I was completely engaged until Ruth went missing. But then, there was such a drastic change in the plot with the inclusion of cult and some random happenings which were too far-fetched, that I began to lose interest.

Also, I did not enjoy or connect with any of the characters. So, while it was a quick read, it wasn’t something that I enjoyed.
