Carol Goodman is one of those authors whose books I will immediately pre-order no matter what. While there was a string of novels a couple years ago that didn't quite live up to her usual storytelling, she has been making a massive comeback with her last couple reads.
...and The Disinvited Guest just keeps this trend going!
While not her traditional mythology/school setting/teacher as main character set-up, the storyline for The Disinvited Guest was a perfect post-pandemic read. Lucy and her husband, Reed are secluded on an island with trusted friends to ride out this new illness taking over the country and world. But *can* everyone be trusted?
This story was filled with twists and turns, and while I did figure out the killer before it was revealed, I was second guessing myself over and over until the very end.
For those who love anything Carol Goodman or just an overall fantastic thriller, I highly recommend The Disinvited Guest. Just know, though, you shouldn't make plans for at least 24 hours once it's in your hands because you will *not* be able to put it down.
Solid 4.5 Stars
