NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Fully realized, wholly absorbing and almost painfully suspenseful...The journey is mesmerizing.” —New York Times

A woman receives an unexpected visitor during a deadly snowstorm in this chilling thriller from New York Times bestselling author Heather Gudenkauf.

True crime writer Wylie Lark doesn’t mind being snowed in at the isolated farmhouse where she’s retreated to write her new book. A cozy fire, complete silence. It would be perfect, if not for the fact that decades earlier, at this very house, two people were murdered in cold blood and a girl disappeared without a trace.

As the storm worsens, Wylie finds herself trapped inside the house, haunted by the secrets contained within its walls—haunted by secrets of her own. Then she discovers a small child in the snow just outside. After bringing the child inside for warmth and safety, she begins to search for answers. But soon it becomes clear that the farmhouse isn’t as isolated as she thought, and someone is willing to do anything to find them.

Don’t miss Heather’s upcoming twisty locked-room thriller, EVERYONE IS WATCHING!

Just what I was looking for. While stuck in bed sick with Covid I was desperately looking for a good book and this did not disappoint. I read it in one afternoon. On the edge of my seat the entire time.

Quick, twisty and engaging read!. Loved it!

RicJm

Good read. I dislike novels where the story bounces back-and-forth between periods of time unless absolutely necessary. However, for certain novels it’s necessary to make the story interesting and compelling. This is one such novel. The overall story arc was very good, however, without revealing any spoilers, the length of time, 22 years, for someone to be held against their will just seem to be too unrealistic and I don’t Feel the story demanded that length of time for any reason. A shorter period would’ve been much more realistic. My only other criticism is the antagonist of the story, when revealed, doesn’t make much sense and the character, which had not been developed, was not believable. Nevertheless , it was an interesting read, a solid 3 1/2 stars and the storylines interwove quite well through to the end.

best book duh. it was so so silly book

JeanneInDallas

Eerie, Hold your breath. Wylie blamed herself for letting go of Becky’s hand in the cornfield. Great story. Nothing was as it seemed.

Adip2017

Great winter thriller!!. 4.5 Stars!!!! The style of story telling is compelling and when it all comes together, it’s a beautiful story with a satisfying ending. It was a bit confusing at parts trying to piece some small details together, but overall very well done. This is a great read for the wintertime if your a thriller lover!

WOW!!. One of the best books I’ve read in a while!!

Nail Biter!. Super exciting. Fun to guess the identity of the unnamed characters. I figured them out but it was a slowly building realization.

PeesBehindTrees

KllSlasher

Finallygotfedupwiththeglitches

Amazing!. Finished it in one day!! Had me absolutely hooked on finding the truth

MHumm82

Great plot. I never rate with 5 stars, but this novel deserves it. The plot was complex and well-developed. The narration from two perspectives was effective. I couldn’t put it down!

BayFam

Must read!. Amazing book! Must read, couldn’t put it down!

Serene 2023

The Overnight Guest. This book is not my normal cup of tea, but midway thru, I could not put it down. Not sure if I am brave enough to read another, but she is a great storyteller.

Gma juls

The Overnight Guest. This thrilling book was the first book in quite some time that I could not put down. There was always something exciting happening that I wanted to read more about. Heather strategically placed ideas and circumstances that kept changing my opinion of the characters. I loved this book!

Mrs.muench

Alright. Nothing special about this book. It was an alright read, maybe something for people getting into thrillers?

Slenderfish1

Intense!. It was very intense and riveting. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and I feel as if it’s motivated me to be a man that loves and cherishes and protects his family as opposed to taking advantage of others. A powerful lesson of selflessness and redemption, this book is. My only critique is that I wish she would have not used profanity or at least not as much, but the story itself was stellar.

Bodhiboy65

One of her best. Gudenkauf has an innate gift for creating gripping characters that are as layered as onion skins. She use a sense of place to create atmosphere and tension
