I tried to fill in my reading with the audio version on a long drive and I don’t recommend listening to this one. The narrator has an odd robotic cadence and I agree with the reviewer who said it was like being read to by Siri. As I mentioned previously, none of the characters were particularly likable, in the traditional sense, but they were definitely interesting. Lapena's] pacy plots have made her one of crime fiction's best-selling authors. Here, she weaves a tale about a group on a remote weekend away. When a body is discovered the trip becomes terrifying."

However, I loved the premise of An Unwanted Guest so I thought I’d give it a go. An Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena: Plot I can guarantee you that most people are not going to want to do that, though," says Portman. "They have a gut feeling that this person is trustworthy, then it goes south and that's how lawyers make their money." This was my second time reading Shari Lapena. “The Couple Next Door” was totally fun for me.... especially the ending....where I found myself dying of laughter. A good old fashioned “Whodunit” Set in the Catskill Mountains, during a bitter cold, stormy weekend when the guests at an Inn get snowed in during a power outage. This is one mystery / suspense that is not to be missed! The plot means you can’t help drawing comparisons with Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None. But the characters are darker than any you’ll meet in a Christie novel, the atmosphere more chilling and the denouement far more unexpected!"

But unfortunately, after the great start, the mystery didn't really come together the way I was expecting. What's amazing about Agatha Christie is that all the clues are there, and when it's explained in the end, you feel like you could have figured it all out if only you'd been a little bit more clever. But with this story, there were no clues for me to put together and solve, and the reasons became known only when the book chose to reveal it. That takes a lot of the fun out of the mystery, at least for me. I felt like I was playing an oral game of the classic board game, CLUE. It was one of my favorite games growing up.

Reduce Your Charm Canadian author Lapena combines the cosy feel and cunning plotting of an Agatha Christie-era whodunnit with a sharp eye for contemporary life."

This book would be the perfect winter read when cozying up by the fire, while it’s storming outside, or trying to figure out a puzzling mystery within this book. I loved the Agatha Christie vibe throughout this entire book. When I say that though, it’s got a more And Then There Were None type of feel. A bunch of strangers are together during a certain amount days, and slowly, one by one, a guest gets murdered.For example, say you open your home to a friend who needs a place to stay and your friend generously offers to give you some money to defray expenses. Great, you think—that makes life a bit easier. Not so fast.
