Description

Sultry and engrossing, with a note of menace, it's a gorgeously smart affair whose deceptive lightness conceals strange depths and an arresting originality . . . take it to the beach and savour every page

Sultry and engrossing, with a note of menace, it's a gorgeously smart affair whose deceptive lightness conceals strange depths and an arresting originality . . . take it to the beach and savour every page

Drawing the reader inexorably on to the heightened, rug-pulling denouement, this is beach reading at its finest

Every sentence as sharp as a scalpel . . . tantalizing

At once chilling and eminently evocative of the rarefied world it portrays . . . a definite contender for Status Vacation Book of 2023

The ideal mix of hazy summer glamour and shimmering threat for compulsive beach reading... A gripping, almost ghastly book

The Girls was exceptional; The Guest, with its exquisite pacing and deliciously muddled moral compass, is even better

Atmospheric and at times incandescent

Cline's writing at its very best - hypnotically propulsive, viscerally disquieting, and moving in the most unpredictable ways

The tension never wavers . . . This is rich material for Cline, who trains a chilly eye on the preposterous affluence and exclusivity of that part of the world

The Girls was exceptional; The Guest...is even better... Compulsively readable... The Guest is as refreshing as a dip in a cool pool on a hot day

As bracing as saltwater... Cline possesses unmistakable talent; her bursts of genuine originality and startling insight make that clear

A tale of the ultimate grifter. Doused in ambiguity and foreboding

A new tense summer adventure

A searing portrayal of the precariat? Or a slick summer thriller? The answer is: both . . . you won't be able to look away

This unsettling but gripping novel takes us deep into the mind of a woman living a shadowy half-life

Crucial reading for any young woman

Undeniably compelling and atmospheric... a poolside-worthy page-turner

A taut, tense novel... The Guest is a strong follow-up... Her [Cline's] prose is limpid and propulsive, sustaining an atmosphere of dread.

[An] arresting observational eye

A thrilling dissection of survival and how far its protagonist will (or can) go to achieve it
