Really enjoyed this tense read.  Iris and Gabriel are empty nesters, each struggling to find their own path.  Iris is trying to expand her work as an interior designer, Gabriel has had to take a leave of absence from his GP practice because of a stressful event.

They return from holiday to find an old friend has moved into their house because of marital problems, saying she'll just stay a few days...

As the body count rises they get closer, with suspicion on their new housemate...

Several twists and turns leave you guessing, and maybe I missed a few clues but I didn't see the end coming, which is not like me!
