About this listen

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Fully realized, wholly absorbing and almost painfully suspenseful...The journey is mesmerizing.”
New York Times

A woman receives an unexpected visitor during a deadly snowstorm in this chilling thriller from New York Times bestselling author Heather Gudenkauf.

True crime writer Wylie Lark doesn’t mind being snowed in at the isolated farmhouse where she’s retreated to write her new book. A cozy fire, complete silence. It would be perfect, if not for the fact that decades earlier, at this very house, two people were murdered in cold blood and a girl disappeared without a trace.

As the storm worsens, Wylie finds herself trapped inside the house, haunted by the secrets contained within its walls—haunted by secrets of her own. Then she discovers a small child in the snow just outside. After bringing the child inside for warmth and safety, she begins to search for answers. But soon it becomes clear that the farmhouse isn’t as isolated as she thought, and someone is willing to do anything to find them.

Don’t miss Heather’s next page-turning thriller, THE PERFECT HOSTS!

Most Relevant
Beautifully narrated by Brittany Pressley, The Overnight Guest by Heather Gudenkauf is a suspense fiction that builds steadily to a crescendo in which the past and present collide in a most explosive climax. During the last two hours of the audiobook, as the stories begin to connect and the truth finally reveals itself, I could hardly breathe. And the ending is a lovely thing -- forming a perfect circle with the beginning. I totally enjoyed this audiobook and have rated it 5 out of 5 stars.

Good story!

I had to go back a few times to understand the characters and timeline. I think the characters were well developed. And the ending was somewhat predictable. Overall it was a good story. I will look for other novels from this author. The narration was great!

Confusing but makes sense at end

It took me a bit to get into this, definitely a slow start. Very gripping plot afterwards. Narration was amazing!

Slow to start, gets better!

Excitement and suspension from beginning to end. I couldn't stop listening. Definitely did not predict the ending like so many other books.
