Snowed in. Strangers at the door. No way out. When Hannah’s car skids off an icy Dorset lane, she has no choice but to accept the kindness of strangers. An elderly couple welcome her into their cottage, where the fire burns, the food is hot, and the Christmas decorations are hung with care. But as the storm closes in, Hannah begins to sense that not everything is as it seems. The questions grow sharper. The atmosphere shifts. And soon she realises that some houses aren’t meant to offer sanctuary… they’re meant to keep you in. This Christmas, Hannah isn’t their guest. She’s their prisoner. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, C.L. Taylor, and B.A. Paris, The Christmas Guest is a tense, binge-worthy, and short psychological thriller you won’t forget.
