The Christmas Guest by Peter Swanson
3.0

Fast paced, easy christmas murder mystery

I really enjoyed this book and the twist at the end left me shocked! The keeping up with whos who was a bit confusing at first but once you get to grips with it, the story line was unique and really intriguing.

Before reading, I didn’t have a lot of high hopes for this one as I thought how gripping can it be being such a short read? but I was wrong. There are so many twists and turns and you’re constantly trying to work out who you may think the killer is and the author does well to put you off until the twist is revealed. The ending was great and I didn’t see it coming at all. It tied up everything nicely but I did feel a little conflicted at the end but in a good thought provoking way.

Highly recommend this read for a fast paced, easy Christmas thriller that will keep you on your toes and get you thinking!
