What to expect

KEEP YOUR FAMILY SAFE.
WHATEVER THE COST...

Jamie and Victoria are expecting their first baby.

With a few weeks to go, they head off for a final weekend break in a remote part of the North Pennines. The small and peaceful guesthouse is the ideal location to unwind together before becoming parents. Upon arrival, they are greeted by Barry and Fiona, the older couple who run the guesthouse. They cook them dinner and show them to their room before retreating to bed themselves.

The next morning, Jamie and Victoria wake to find the house deserted. Barry and Fiona are nowhere to be seen. All the doors are locked. Both their mobile phones and car keys have disappeared. Even though it's a few weeks early, Victoria knows the contractions are starting.

The baby is coming, and there's no way out.

Critics Review

  • Deliciously dark and creepy, The Guest House is an original and very clever thriller that completely hoodwinked me with its well crafted and twisty plot. So unpredictable and gripping. I couldn’t put it down

    Claire Douglas
  • A gripping, must-read, tightly plotted thriller with dizzying twists and turns that will keep you on your toes

    John Marrs, author of KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY
  • A tense thriller with a killer twist! Morgan-Bentley has hit on a chilling scenario that kept me rapt and tearing through the pages. His writing is vivid and utterly engaging with shrewd character observations that really brought Victoria and Jamie’s nightmare to life. The dual timelines ramped up the tension and intrigue, gradually revealing what had actually happened and setting the scene for a killer twist. Highly recommended!

    KL Slater, author of THE EVIDENCE
  • I absolutely loved it – such a page-turner with the most excellent plot twist at the very end.

    Leah Hazard, author of HARD PUSHED
  • Morgan-Bentley is becoming a master of the reader’s comment of… “I didn’t see that coming!!” A most unexpected twist at the end! I found myself thinking, I know it’s late but I can’t leave it here, I need to know more

    Joy Ellis, author of the DI NIKKI GALENA SERIES
  • Creepy and compelling from the off, it’s an immersive read with a terrific twist. I raced through it!
