An Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena Book Summary

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

Another thrilling domestic suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door and Not a Happy Family

“A gripping mystery perfect for fans of Agatha Christie.” –Good Housekeeping

“Another nail-biter perfect for an all-nighter.” –Entertainment Weekly

A weekend retreat at a cozy mountain lodge is supposed to be the perfect getaway . . . but when the storm hits, no one is getting away

It's winter in the Catskills and Mitchell's Inn, nestled deep in the woods, is the perfect setting for a relaxing--maybe even romantic--weekend away. It boasts spacious old rooms with huge woodburning fireplaces, a well-stocked wine cellar, and opportunities for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or just curling up with a good murder mystery.

So when the weather takes a turn for the worse, and a blizzard cuts off the electricity--and all contact with the outside world--the guests settle in and try to make the best of it.

Soon, though, one of the guests turns up dead--it looks like an accident. But when a second guest dies, they start to panic.

Within the snowed-in paradise, something--or someone--is picking off the guests one by one. And there's nothing they can do but hunker down and hope they can survive the storm--and one another.

Painful Read. I had to double check and make sure I wasn’t reading young adult fiction after the first two chapters. I found the plot to be unbelievable and disappointing and I thought the vocabulary was childlike and repetitive. This was my first read of Lapena and most likely my last.

What was that. Her worst book by far. After the couple next door it went down hill. The plot twist wasn’t even much of a plot twist and the way she implemented it was not good. It’s like she ran out of ideas so she just stopped.

GOOD READ. Very great book, I really enjoyed the twist in it and the whole story and characters were very good indeed.

Would highly recommend!. 5 stars ! A stormy, isolated, setting. Great characters !My new favorite murder mystery !

An uninvited guest. A gripping story of when the electricity goes out at an isolated inn. What happens when the days go by without light or heat will keep you coming back for more.

Good book. Good book

Classic. Good twist on a classic theme. A good armchair thriller with plenty of surprises. Agatha Christie-esque.

Tried but didn’t succeed. While the story was very interesting and had potential to be a really good book, it wasn’t. The writing was very repetitive. Instead of expounding on details and fleshing out scenes, the writer spent more time repeating the same phrases, facts and stories.

Completely shocked, amazing read yet again. Shari Lapena does it again! This book was amazing! The first few chapters started off slower, but it helps you to understand the characters for in the book. Once things start unraveling, the book had me hooked! I found myself eager to read the next chapter and the next until I was too sleepy to read anymore. I finished in a few days, I couldn’t put it down. I was completely shocked by the ending. This book is a must read! Don’t think, just do it! You won’t regret it.

Wow. Wow what a good writer. Kept me guessing.

Good, until.... As a reader it’s easy to blast an author’s work. Something they have put tremendous amounts thought and energy can be reduced by a biased opinion. I want to love every book I read. I wanted to love this book. I really enjoyed the setup and interplay of the characters. But I was disappointed in the method of the reveal. It felt a bit lazy and uninspired. I wanted a great revelation where things fell into place, and the story got elevated in the end. Instead it had to be explained with a secondary story that played in the background. The final twist was fun, but not profound enough to save me from blasting this review.

Couldn’t even finish this book. I was excited about this book because I loved this authors other, recent popular book “the couple next door” but sadly there is no comparison. This book was painfully boring, I read about half of it just hoping it would eventually Improve, but unfortunately it did not. I can’t believe this is the same author because The Couple Next Door was such a page turner... but this definitely was not, I don’t recommend.

Suspenseful but disappoitning. This is one of those books that is compelling and suspenseful while you read it, but you are ultimately disappointed by an unrealistic and rushed ending. I read it to I find out what happened but was pretty unimpressed. I found the entire plot of the book to be hinged on the reader’s ability to suspend their disbelief that the characters could not have charged their phones or otherwise found help (police helicopter??) It’s also generally poorly written and undeveloped.

great book!. it kept me guessing , and i was in shock when i found out !! but the end is such a cliff hanger

Great book!. Really interesting, kept me hooked until the end!

Country Resort Nightmare. Truly a nightmare.. being stuck in a small country resort with no reception and a killer on the loose. This was a great story to go along with all the snow falling outside. I did knock a star cause the twist and the “killer” weren’t that big of a shock to me for some reason but I did enjoy the story.

Well written. Loved the variety of characters in this book, the suspense, the unexpected twist and how engaging it is. I finished this book in one afternoon and I seldom do that.

Wow!!. Loved this book from the first page to last!!! The setting was amazing as all the people !!!!!

Illogical and Contrived.. At first I thought I would be taken in to a world of “whodunit”. But for that to be true, the author would need to provide clues cleverly laid. Instead, what we get is “…and another thing that happened…and then another thing that happened…” And, finally, the reason all of this happened is because of somethings revealed at the end that have no roots in any of the character stories laid out as purported clues. Even the culminating “twist” seems contrived and self conscious as “…look, I am throwing in a twist.” Unfortunately, for me, this means I will never read another book by Ms. Lapena.

Doug. Well written. I liked it. Spoiler alert - how could you be at altitude, at a quaint hotel, during a vicious snowstorm, and an even more vicious ice storm and be so woefully unprepared. The writer must be a Southerner. I could maybe believe no backup generator but nobody would be that unprepared in that environment. Just a nagging thought that detracts from the story. Grumpy. Geeersh, nicknames are hard.

Surprise ending!. I love this author and this book was a great read. I didn’t see the ending coming at all, but the whole of the book itself slightly felt like it was just a big description of the people and what they were doing. Very much a murder mystery, and each character had their own story. Overall was a great read!

How does Shari Lapena do it?!. Another awesome read from Shari Lapena! Her stories are so filled with murdery details! They are a delight to read!

Good read. A little drawn out but a very solid novel.
