Omschrijving

A young couple are entangled in a nightmare spiral of lies when they pretend to be someone else ...Exquisitely dark psychological suspense by the international bestselling author of The Bird Tribunal

`A delightfully insightful and wicked little read ... Like the cabin, it´s so minimalist and stark and at the same time so compelling´ Elizabeth Haynes

________

It started with a lie...

Married couple Karin and Kai are looking for a pleasant escape from their busy lives, and reluctantly accept an offer to stay in a luxurious holiday home in the Norwegian fjords.

Instead of finding a relaxing retreat, however, their trip becomes a reminder of everything lacking in their own lives, and in a less-than-friendly meeting with their new neighbours, Karin tells a little white lie...

Against the backdrop of the glistening water and within the claustrophobic walls of the ultra-modern house, Karin´s insecurities blossom, and her lie grows ever bigger, entangling her and her husband in a nightmare spiral of deceits with absolutely no means of escape...

Simmering with suspense and dark humour, The Guests is a gripping psychological drama about envy and aspiration ... and something more menacing, hiding just below that glittering surface...
