THE GUESTS: A STAND ALONE THRILLER BY STEWART GILES

How far would you go to keep a dream alive?
Henry and Rebecca Green worked their whole lives dreaming about a house by the sea. They thought the move to the idyllic town of Frisk would be the perfect retirement. The sea views and clement weather were exactly what they’d been looking forward to their whole lives.

But Mr and Mrs Green soon realise life in paradise isn’t as rosy as they thought. There are others who want what they have. They soon find out that all of the neighbouring houses are HomeFromHome weekend rentals and very soon the ideal retirement takes a turn for the worse when reality hits.

Against her husband’s advice, Rebecca Green devises a plan to get even. It’s a plan so obscure and out of the box, Henry doubts his wife’s sanity at first.

And the detectives who are brought in to investigate the series of murders at various HomeFromHome rentals are equally baffled.

Stewart Giles – Author Bio

After reading English at 3 Universities and graduating from none of them, I set off travelling around the world with my wife, Ann, finally settling in South Africa, where we still live.
In 2014 Ann dropped a rather large speaker on my head and I came up with the idea for a detective series. DS Jason Smith was born. Smith, the first in the series was finished a few months later.
3 years and 8 DS Smith books later, Joffe Books wondered if I would be interested in working with them. As a self-published author, I agreed. However, we decided on a new series – the DC Harriet Taylor: Cornwall series.
The Beekeeper was published and soon hit the number one spot in Australia. The second in the series, The Perfect Murder did just as well.
I continued to self-publish the Smith series and Unworthy hit the shelves in 2018 with amazing results. I therefore made the decision to self-publish The Backpacker which is book 3 in the Detective Harriet Taylor series which was published in July 2018.
After The Backpacker I had an idea for a totally new start to a series – a collaboration between the Smith and Harriet thrillers and The Enigma was born. It brought together the broody, enigmatic Jason Smith and the more level-headed Harriet Taylor.
The Miranda trilogy is something totally different. A psychological thriller trilogy. It is a real departure from anything else I’ve written before.
The Detective Jason Smith series continues to grow with book 17 now available. In addition, I have a new series featuring an Irish detective who relocated to Guernsey. The first 5 books in the Detective Liam O’Reilly series are now available. There are also 3 stand alone novels.

My Review as always I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I feel like I just gel with the style of writing and characters the most with Stewart Giles, similar to Nora Roberts as I love hers too, and Patricia Cornwell. So he’s up there as a firm favourite.

The pace and wit, and plot all cast the most perfect spell to whisk you away, and I swear you’ll get nothing done except drink coffee and turn pages!!

I think it captured the heart of most people’s desires to move away and create their dream, if only the neighborhood wasn’t awful. You just never know who you are living next door too, do you?

Shows you how inconsiderate people can soon get the backs up of good hard working people, and it spoils the community. One bad Apple and all that. If you are looking for misdirection and red herrings and what the devil moments, this book is for you!!
