Some secrets always surface. Others drag you under.
Ronni Ashcroft’s husband walked out on her last year, and she’s only just pieced her life back together. Three kids, a guest house on a remote stretch of the Highland coast, and just enough stubborn pride to hold it all together.
Then Bishop comes into her life. He’s charismatic, secretive, a little bit dangerous – just the kind of man she always falls for. But Bishop is hiding something terrible. Something hidden out beyond the guest house, between the dark, choppy sea and the wild, empty fields of the Scottish Highlands.
And Ronni is already too close to the truth to walk away… * The Guest House* is an atmospheric psychological crime thriller set against the wild coastline of Scotland, perfect for readers of Stuart MacBride, Simon McCleave and JM Dalgliesh.
