<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> "A weekend retreat at a cozy mountain lodge is supposed to be the perfect getaway. But when the storm hits, no one is getting away. It's winter in the Catskills and Mitchell's Inn, nestled deep in the woods, is the perfect setting for a relaxing--maybe even romantic--weekend away ... So when the weather takes a turn for the worse, and a blizzard cuts off the electricity and all contact with the outside world the guests settle in for the long haul. Soon, though, one of the guests turns up dead--it looks like an accident. But when a second guest dies, they start to panic. Within the snowed-in paradise, something or someone is picking off the guests one by one. And there's nothing they can do but hunker down and hope they can survive the storm"-- <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p><b>El nuevo y electrizante <i>thriller</i> de la autora de <i>La pareja de al lado.</i></b><br><b><br>«Un novela que enorgullecería a Agatha Christie»- <i>USA Today.</i></b> <p/>Los huéspedes que van llegando al encantador y remoto hotelito Mitchell's Inn se observan mutuamente con interés, pero desde una prudente distancia. Todos ellos han recalado allí en busca de un relajante (quizá hasta romántico) fin de semana en medio del bosque y lejos de sus vidas. <p/>Pero cuando una violenta tormenta azota las montañas, el grupo se ve completamente aislado del resto del mundo. Nadie puede entrar... ni salir. Entonces descubren el primer cadáver, y la horrible verdad sale a la luz. Tienen a un asesino entre ellos. Y no hay escapatoria. <p/>«Una estupenda historia policiaca con un delicioso sabor a Agatha Christie. A los fans de la autora les encantará, ¡y cualquiera que disfrute de una buena novela de misterio la devorará!»<br><i>Library Journal<br></i><br>«Si lo que buscas es un <i>thriller</i> que no puedas dejar, estás de suerte: la autora superventas Shari Lapena ha vuelto con una nueva novela... Va a ser un éxito.»<br><i>Heat<br></i><br>«Demostrando que los tiempos cambian pero la gente no, Lapena ha escrito una sólida novela de intriga que enorgullecería a Agatha Christie.»<br><i>USA Today<br></i><br>«Una novela para morderse las uñas que te leerás en una noche.»<br><i>Entertainment Weekly<br></i><br>«Un <i>thriller </i>hábilmente planteado y sabiamente dosificado que mantendrá a los lectores tratando de adivinar (y aterrorizados) hasta el último minuto.»<br><i>Bustle</i> <p/> <br><b>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION</b> <p/><b><b><b><b>Shari Lapena's new thriller, <b>AN UNWANTED GUEST, </b> is available now!</b></b></b> <p/>"Smart and suspenseful. . . you'll never see the ending coming." --<b>PureWow</b> <p/>In this neighborhood, danger lies close to home. A domestic thriller packed full of secrets, and a twisty story that never stops--from the bestselling author of <i>The Couple Next Door</i><br><i><br>He looks at her, concerned. "How do you feel?<b><i>" </i></b>She wants to say, </i>Terrified<i>. Instead, she says, with a faint smile, <b><i>"</i></b>Glad to be home</i>.<b><i>"</i></b></b> <p/>Karen and Tom Krupp are happy--they've got a lovely home in upstate New York, they're practically newlyweds, and they have no kids to interrupt their comfortable life together. But one day, Tom returns home to find Karen has vanished--her car's gone and it seems she left in a rush. She even left her purse--complete with phone and ID--behind. <p/>There's a knock on the door--the police are there to take Tom to the hospital where his wife has been admitted. She had a car accident, and lost control as she sped through the worst part of town. <p/>The accident has left Karen with a concussion and a few scrapes. Still, she's mostly okay--except that she can't remember what she was doing or where she was when she crashed. The cops think her memory loss is highly convenient, and they suspect she was up to no good. <p/>Karen returns home with Tom, determined to heal and move on with her life. Then she realizes something's been moved. Something's not quite right. Someone's been in her house. And the police won't stop asking questions. <p/>Because in this house, everyone's a stranger. Everyone has something they'd rather keep hidden. Something they might even kill to keep quiet.</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <b>Shari Lapena</b> fue abogada y profesora de inglés antes de dedicarse a escribir.
