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... _____ Praise for Agnes Ravatn **Shortlisted for the Dublin Literary Award** **A BBC Book at Bedtime** **Shortlisted for the Petrona Award for Best Scandinavian Crime Fiction** **Winner of an English PEN Translation Award** `A clever, quirky mystery, full of twists and reminiscent of Agatha Christie at her best¿ The Times `Ravatn, one of Norway¿s premier crime writers, manages to conjure up an extra level of chilling atmosphere that will make you want to put the heating on¿ The Sun `An unrelenting atmosphere of doom fails to prepare readers for the surprising resolution¿ Publishers Weekly `Unfolds in an austere style that perfectly captures the bleakly beautiful landscape of Norway's far north¿ Irish Times `Reminiscent of Patricia Highsmith and I can't offer higher praise than that.
