Book Review of The Last House Guest

The Last House Guest


Very Disappointed! I struggled to read this book, and frankly if I wasn't stuck at hospital visiting my niece for hours at a time over several days, I likely wouldn't have even finished reading it!
Some authors can switch timeframes in each chapter and make the transition smoothly. The switching from one year to the last in each chapter was just confusing. Not enough time had passed, so it became annoying to try to place characters one year apart.
Murder in a beach resort town, how original. Rich girl befriends local girl, how original. Big party where someone dies....I'm getting bored.
It was difficult to finish and only the surprise ending was worth the torture of reading it!
