The Christmas Guest by Peter Swanson

dark mysterious sad medium-paced

If you’re looking for a fast read for a Christmas afternoon, this is a solid choice. I was engrossed in the mystery & the storytelling.

I will say that some of it was disturbing & not exactly the vibes I was hoping for 😅. Check the triggers.
