About this deal

The pace of the novel is decidedly pedestrian and although there is an unexplained death early in the piece, it does little to inject any great energy into the narrative.

The Police know that someone at the resort knows what happened but it’s hard for them to get to the truth. Big thank you to NetGalley, Random House UK and the author Heidi Perks for my ARC of The Other Guest in exchange for an honest review. The story is set in a high-end holiday resort on a Greek island, though I can't honestly say that I ever felt the essence of that location was captured in the writing.At just eleven years of age, Stella was not only leaving home she loved behind, but this would also mark the end of her friendship with Jill. I loved the writing style and the setting of the story’‘Easily the best thriller I’ve read in a long time’‘Lots of twists and turns, guaranteed page-turner that keeps you guessing until the end’‘The ending took me by surprise’‘Couldn’t put this one down – just one more chapter became something of a mantra!

After many failed attempts at IVF, James has told Laila he no longer wants to try for a baby and hopes this holiday will be exactly what they both need. Heidi successfully applied for a place on the inaugural Curtis Brown Creative online Novel Writing Course and after that dedicated her time to completing her first novel, Beneath The Surface.

This is a used book - there is no escaping the fact it has been read by someone else and it will show signs of wear and previous use.

All these devices add to the excitement making this an outstanding book in a world where numerous books about lost girls are readily available.

Initially gripped, I had high hopes for this book, unfortunately, after the main event (which happened very early in the story), not a lot happened and sadly I found the ending quite disappointing. Heidi Perks is the Sunday Times bestselling author of Now You See Her, which was a Richard and Judy Book Club pick, Come Back for Me, Three Perfect Liars and The Whispers. Despite this I still found myself reaching for the book and looking forward to getting stuck in, there are lots of twists and turns so I couldn’t see where the book was going or guess any of the reveals which I really liked. The way Heidi has written and described the venue really makes you feel like you are on holiday with the characters, especially as Laila (like me) is a people watcher! I received a complimentary copy of this novel at my request from Random House UK, Cornerstone, Century via NetGalley and this review is my own unbiased opinion.

But then they’d probably ask her how she knows this and that could be a problem… Bottomline is that everyone who needs to speak up is keeping their lips sealed. Asides from that I did enjoy it, the people watching (which I can totally relate) how when we get Em and Rosie's p.

During the book Heidi cleverly gives you more and more background on the key players, it’s fascinating as you will no doubt form early opinions only to have that change over the course of the story.
