The guesthouse

Read the opening chapters of a stunning debut psychological thriller in this free sampler

Seven guests. One Killer. A holiday to remember.

'Dark, claustrophobic and full of suspense' Alex Lake

Seven strangers who find themselves cut off from civilization in a remote guesthouse in Ireland.

Not all the guests will survive their stay.

You use an app, called Cloud BNB, to book a room online. And on a cold and windy afternoon you arrive at The Guesthouse, a dramatic old building on a remote stretch of hillside in Ireland.

You are expecting a relaxing break, but you find something very different. Something unimaginable. Because a killer has lured you and six other guests here and now you can't escape.

One thing's for certain: not all of you will come back from this holiday alive.

'Dark, claustrophobic and full of suspense: The Guesthouse is a gripping mystery, and a fantastic debut' Alex Lake
