The Overnight Guest by Heather Gudenkauf
This had me hooked from the beginning. There are three separate stories being told but you know that at some point they will all be tied together. Some parts I was able to figure out but that did not take anything away from the story for me. I really enjoyed the mystery. The reason I'm only rating this a 3 is because the ending was one of my reading pet peeves - the Scooby Doo style ending where the villain just info dumps his whole nefarious plan during the final confrontation. I LOATHE that kind of ending. Other than that though - this was a pretty awesome read.

Farfetched plot but still an okayish story. At least it was a relatively quick read.
