The Overnight Guest: A Novel

The Overnight Guest — a New York Times bestseller by Heather Gudenkauf — is a chilling thriller about isolation, buried secrets, and survival.

True crime writer Wylie Lark retreats to a remote farmhouse during a brutal snowstorm to work on her next book. But this house holds a dark past—decades ago, two people were murdered there, and a young girl vanished without a trace.

When Wylie discovers a child abandoned in the snow, she brings them inside for safety—only to realize she’s not as alone as she thought. As the storm rages, danger closes in, and Wylie must confront both the horrors outside and the secrets she’s been hiding.
