I saw mixed reviews on this but it was a quick audiobook perfect for a drive I had to make today. Interesting enough to keep me listening, but nothing earth shattering.

Quick and satisfying read.
Ashley Smith is alone, except for her cat Elspeth, on Christmas Day in her New York apartment - just how she likes it! She decides to de-clutter her wardrobe and comes across her diary from 1989, exactly thirty years earlier, a year she describes as murderous. We’re transported back in time to England, when Ashley was a student, invited to spend the Christmas holiday with a friend at her family’s quintessential stately home in the country.
I won’t tell you any more about the story but I’d highly recommend The Christmas Guest if you’re looking for a seasonal read that isn’t light and fluffy! The Manor House provides the perfect gothic setting and the Chapman family are just strange enough to leave you feeling unsettled throughout. At only 130 pages long I consumed the novella in one sitting which makes it the perfect Christmas Eve read in my opinion!
