His bedroom door shuts, the soft sound reminding me of the notebook. The uneasiness slides higher, mixing with anticipation, a need to know what’s inside. He goes over to the window and feels the curtain. Then he glides it across, as far as the cloth will go. The room dims, losing its amber evening light. Tense and exciting it is also written in a way to be an enjoyable read where you slip straight into the characters,good and bad,lives and stay with them throughout the story

The novel follows her story as she tries to stay in alive in Times Square and Manhattan with neither credit cards nor a passport — with, essentially, no identity — as well as the entire Chapman family’s saga in Westchester: Richard, Kristin, and 9-year-old Melissa.Rosie said my thoughts were like corkscrews, coiling off in all directions.

I loved Steph,insecurities and all and the way she tried so hard to be happy after she lost everything,at times naive more often though just vulnerable she had no idea was was ‘afoot’ Sure,” I say, waving the spatula. “You can go whenever you like before eleven. Just leave the keys in the room.”

I’m curious about objects like this—possessions. Their implications. What they reveal about people.I am excited to be taking part in the #BooksOnTour #BlogTour for Rona Halsall's latest compelling thriller #TheGuestRoom. I hear him inhale, a wheezy breath. Then he sneezes. “Excuse me. Hay fever.” A rustly noise. He’s probably using a tissue from the box on his desk. The one he keeps for people like me. Provide plenty of pillows and blankets.

As I start to put the phone away, the screen lights up with another notification. I swipe and something inside my rib cage clenches. New message from Oliver Barlow.

B&b in Edinburgh area: The Guest Room

Think about your guests' needs and preferences. If you have any specific requests, be sure to let them know in advance so they can be prepared. The Guest Room by Rona Halsall is a thriller novel. The story in The Guest Room is one that is told mainly from one point of view but there are a few changes to the point of view along the way. There’s a shoe in the branches above. Laceless.

I take another bit of egg from the pan, accidentally puncturing the yolk. Amber liquid dribbles out and fries solid. As soon as I step inside, there’s the smell of baking bread. I halt, surprised, then head into the living area. No sign of Arran. But that smell. Opening the oven, I’m hit with warm air. On the shelf is a round loaf, crusty brown. I can’t believe he’s been baking—most guests barely use the kitchen. Just a small bottle of milk in the fridge or evidence of a takeaway in the bin.
