I felt utterly uninterested in the story. I feel I'm a half way done in the book, and nothing as happens much...

An Unwanted Guest is definitely a character-driven mystery. A bunch of different people have ended up at this remote hotel in the middle of a storm. And then someone dies. And another person dies.
I was sucked in. It was reminiscent of old Agatha Christie “whodunit” stories. WHO DID IT???
There were a lot of characters that I initially found hard to keep track of, but it soon became easier to follow. An Unwanted Guest was an entertaining story that kept me hooked.

Edit @ March 29: Honestly though, this book gets such a high rating because there was one thing at the very very end that made me very happy (You can probably guess what it was honestly). In reality this is more of a 3.75 because it was fast paced, had me hooked, but the solution to the case was unsatisfactory and did not tie all of the characters together like I expected would happen. (Also I should not do reviews after midnight, what was I thinking?)
My first Shari Lapena book did not disappoint! An Unwanted Guest was a mystery that kept me hooked and guessing. I did not guess who did it at all! I have a lot of thoughts about this one- you should see the notes I have on this app.

A bit confusing with all the characters but after making a diagram it was easy to follow. The ending was unexpected, the author does a good job of making everyone seem like a suspect. Would recommend!
