The Guest Room

“Home should be an anchor, a port in a storm, a refuge, a happy place in which to dwell, a place where we are loved and where we can love.” — Elder Marvin J. Ashton

Steph’s home has not felt like a refuge or happy place since her husband of thirty years has left her. He wants to sell their shared home; she wants to stay. But things have been going bump in the night. There are strange sounds, when she tells others, her daughter, Bea thinks her mother is imagining things.

But then closed windows are left open, someone has broken in and Noah, a young man fixes her window and Steph impulsively invited him to live with her. She will safer, wont she? She won’t be alone; she will have someone looking out for her. Steph is happy with the arrangement, but her estranged husband and daughter are not. Who can blame them? If a loved one told me that he/she had invited a random person who just did a home repair for them to live with them, I would be upset as well.

This proved to be a fast read for me. Like other reviewers, I figured out whodunit very early on. But I didn’t mind as I enjoyed the journey of the culprit being discovered. There are a nice number of twists and turns along the way.

If you are looking for an enjoyable fast read which doesn’t disappoint, look no further. This is entertaining, a great escape, and fun to read.
