The Last Guest
Eight years ago, Colleen Harte gave up a baby for adoption. She was twenty-nine, broke, and certain it was the right decision. She told herself she would never look back.
Now she is thirty-seven, still broke, and housesitting for a family in Westchester. An architect named Derek. His second wife, Nora. And their eight-year-old daughter, Lily - the child Colleen gave away.
Colleen took the job to see her daughter once. To know she was loved. To know she was safe. That was the whole plan.
But Nora is too careful. Derek is too quiet. The house has cameras in rooms that don't need them. And there is a second phone - not Nora's usual phone, a different one - that Colleen finds by accident on the bathroom counter one morning, left where anyone might see it or where anyone was meant to.
The messages on it are about her.
Colleen is not the only stranger who has come to live in this house. She is only the latest.
The Last Guest is a psychological thriller about the stories we tell ourselves to survive the choices we cannot undo - and the people who are counting on us to keep telling them.
