Wow! The Overnight Guest by Heather Gudenkauf is action packed from beginning to end! True crime writer, Wylie Lark, finds a farmhouse out in the woods where she can finish her new book in peace and quiet, so she thinks. When she finds a child buried in the snow near her farmhouse, she has her hands full!
I Loved this book because it had non-stop action and the characters were true to life. It was really good! I highly recommend it! (Gerard's review 3/29/22, 5++ stars)
Karen's review:
I agree with my husband's review on The Overnight Guest by Heather Gudenkauf. Although I was confused and a bit frustrated with the first half of the book because three story lines were going on at once, I stuck with it and am glad I did. The three story lines are: (1) Wylie returning home to write a true-crime novel about her life and finding a child and a woman out in a blizzard who she helps, (2) Josie, a girl who lives with her grandparents after her family is murdered, and (3) a woman and child who are held captive in a basement for years. I actually felt like reading all the chapters that were dated August 2000 first and then going back to read the ones from the present. I was relieved when I finally reached the point where everything was connected and it made sense. This is a murder mystery full of action. There are even discussion questions in the back for book clubs to use. (5 stars)
