The Christmas Guest

‘Pulled me in from the very beginning. I devoured this in one sitting!’ littlemissbooklover87, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The holidays will be murder…

Once a year, the Wentworth siblings come to Liars Island. For the rest of the year they avoid each other – but Christmas is for family. There’s Nicole, smart and quiet. Archie, ambitious and reckless. Cliff, sweet and confused.

Six years ago, one of them killed their mother.

I’m here to find out which one.

But as the Wentworths avoid each other’s eyes and gently deflect my questions, outside a storm is rising.

And the trap I thought I’d set for them might be closing around me…

A brilliantly twisty thriller from the bestselling author of The Dinner Guest. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Maria Frankland and A.K. Benedict.
