Kit's summer position at the Abbaye de Saint Maurice, an upscale hotel in the French Alps, was meant to be a new start. But after she became entangled with a mysterious group of guests, the estate came to hold her darkest secret, which left her with no choice but to flee. After a decade spent laying low, Kit receives an invitation to return to the hotel. But who is calling her back? And why, when they all promised to stay away? Kit can't resist the pull of the Abbaye and the chance to finally find closure. But upon arrival, she learns that a former flame is writing a book that could expose the group's shared secret. The others need her help to stop him, but will Kit be able to betray the man she once loved for the good of the rest? And how far are her old friends willing to go to protect themselves? When new details surface about that long ago summer, Kit is forced to question the story she's been telling herself, about its disturbing ending, and what it all says about the person she really is.

Rife with tension, a cast of complex characters, and a deliciously macabre ending, I did not want this perfect psychological suspense to ever end."" --Ashley Tate, international bestselling author of Twenty-Seven Minutes ""Hennigan writes with an elegance creating a world that's deliciously unnerving. The prose is luminous and crisp, and the momentum irresistible. A truly hypnotic read."" --Amanda Cassidy, bestselling author of The Stranger Inside ""I savored this luscious dark truffle of a novel.

The locations are stunningly painted, and so richly evoked it felt like I was sitting around the table with the characters, engaging in their discussions. It really tests the limits of philosophy, and explores how far a woman can be pushed before she falls off the edge. And the edge, it seems, is always calling. A must read!"" --Catherine Prasifka, author of This is How You Remember It ""An addictive thriller with whip-smart twists and beguiling characters, The Hotel Guest is dark academia at its best. I couldn't put it down."" --Emily Critchley, author of The Undoing of Violet Claybourne ""The Hotel Guest is an addictive, more-ish mystery which kept me reading right into the night. I tore through this book, desperate to find out exactly what Kit and her increasingly sinister group of former friends were hiding. It's so evocative and atmospheric, a real page-turner which expertly peels back the layers of toxic friendship and rivalry."" --Jennifer Bray, author of The Lies Between Us ""A compulsive thriller, beautifully set and described and always with a feeling of something sinister building. And sinister it is! A hugely satisfying read."" --Charlie Gallagher, author of the Maddie Ives Detective Mysteries ""The Hotel Guest brilliantly weaves entitlement and the corruptions of class with questions of justice and the true meaning of friendship. Yearning to belong, Kit is swept into the camaraderie of a group of brilliant students, whose truth is not what it seems. Against the stunning backdrop of a French resort hotel, darkness looms between bright young things ultimately bound by tragedy. A haunting, intelligent and atmospheric read, this is a book that will stay with you long after you have put it down."" --Sam Blake, author of The Killing Sense ""A gripping mystery following one of my favourite topics--friendship. Rosemary Hennigan writes prose you just can't help but sink into, while keeping the tension up until the very end. Obsessed."" --Heather Darwent, author of The Things We Do to Our Friends ""The Hotel Guest is another atmospheric novel from Rosemary Hennigan. I was captivated from the first page. Taut with tension and simmering with menace. I was hooked from the first page. This is the third book I have read by Hennigan, and she just gets better. With deep characterisation and flawless prose, Hennigan perfects the line between sumptuous literary fiction and a thriller that keeps the reader guessing. The Hotel Guest is morally complex, with an undercurrent of tension throughout. All building up to a shocking conclusion. A beautifully dark novel. I adored it. This addictive novel will stay with you for a long time."" --Catherine Balavage, Editor in Chief of Frost Magazine
