A review by elenhill
The Overnight Guest by Heather Gudenkauf

4.0

A true crime author is snowed in at an isolated farm house when she discovers a young boy half frozen, in her front yard. The book follows 3 story lines. One based in 2000 about a family who was murdered and with two missing teenagers. The timeline with the author and the child. And a 3rd story line of a mother and daughter locked in a basement by her the child’s abusive father. 
The end brings the story lines together with some parts being predictable and other parts I didn’t see coming. Finished it in a day. Loved it! It was an easy and quick read. I didn’t struggle to keep track of who’s who. It was tense and fast paced. 
Easy little thriller to head on a snowy winter day ❄️
