An Unwanted Guest

And there’s nothing they can do but hunker down and hope they can survive the storm–and one another.

If you made an arrangement with the person before they came into your home, then bring this up to them. I enjoyed the critical thinking involved - using inference skills - predictions-= drawing conclusions. They arrive just as a brutal winter storm hits, cutting off electricity to the hotel along with any possible contact with the outside world. Even if there's no written lease and no rent has changed hands, they can claim that they are a tenant or a "lodger.

Other readers seem to love Shari Lapena’s books but I think it’s time for me to admit that her books just aren’t for me. A great way to get your guest to leave is to tell them that your life is getting in the way of being a good host to them. It's awkward, yes, but it's really important for the friend to sign a statement certifying that they are indeed a guest, not a tenant or lodger, that they are not paying rent or providing services in exchange for lodging, and most importantly, that you, the owner, can ask them to leave at any time.

Like Murder on the Orient Express, where the characters all have a mysterious past to hide, and one of them may be a murderer. I enjoyed this and read it in one night, but tend to like psychological style mysteries which speak of the human condition. They made reader love them, they made reader sad, they made reader angry, they made reader laugh, they made reader cry, and they made reader believe in the promise of love and home. Lapena keeps the well-developed twists churning, with each a surprise notch in this ever-evolving plot, and she continues this skillful storytelling until the stunning twist at the end. A few twists here with this story and one especially that left us with something to talk about and left us completely satisfied in the end.For those who love gritty, somewhat nasty mysteries with weird, and an exotic setting in one of the world’s most famous cities, this thriller mystery will satisfy. If you suddenly lock out an at-will tenant, especially if their belongings are still in the house, you could be the target of costly civil suits and legal action. And without spoiling, I have to say the very last chapter left me with a grin of pleasure on my face. With nowhere to go for winter break, Amy is invited to spend time with her friend Christine's family.
