Whatever the cost....

Jamie and Victoria are expecting their first baby.

With a few weeks to go, they head off for a final weekend break in a remote part of the North Pennines. The small and peaceful guesthouse is the ideal location to unwind together before becoming parents. Upon arrival, they are greeted by Barry and Fiona, the older couple who run the guesthouse. They cook them dinner and show them to their room before retreating to bed themselves.

The next morning, Jamie and Victoria wake to find the house deserted. Barry and Fiona are nowhere to be seen. All the doors are locked. Both their mobile phones and car keys have disappeared. Even though it's a few weeks early, Victoria knows the contractions are starting.

The baby is coming, and there's no way out.

Critic reviews

"A tense thriller with a killer twist!" (KL Slater)
All stars
Most relevant
Loved, loved, loved (!) this book. I cared about the characters deeply and had chills all the way through-- a thriller with heart. The Guest House is fast-paced, full of twists and turns, and flips back and forth in time in a way that feels refreshing and new. An original premise and an even more original ending.

Enthralling, essential read

A good story if a little far fetched. Did not really understand the epilogue. Mostly entertaining though. I really like all the actors that read the book and made the character’s believable.

Mad people doing mad things

Fabulous narration

Started off promising and then went rather silly.
Jamie's voice was annoying.
Epilogue at the end-strange? Why had Fiona developed a child's voice?
Could of been good but something was slightly off

Hmmm, wasn't sure at first.
