A married couple borrows a luxurious home on the Norwegian fjords, entangling themselves in a web of lies when they pretend to be the owners. Chilling, darkly funny psychological suspense by the author of The Bird Tribunal. 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 neighbors, 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 humor, The Guests is a gripping psychological drama about envy and aspiration... and something more menacing, hiding just below that glittering surface.

This is a curious little tale about obsession and jealousy. The main character is not only obsessed with her nemesis but she‘s also obsessed with herself! She really does dig herself some holes. It‘s well written nevertheless with a creeping sense of unease throughout. It‘s not an action packed thriller by any means but it‘s quite compelling all the same. An enjoyable and engaging quick read. #TBC on Facebook
