Ever have the feeling you' re being watched? A smart, unsettling, unputdownable literary thriller from the award-winning, critically acclaimed writerLina and Cain are doing their best to stay afloat. Money has been tight since Cain returned from active duty, and starting a family is proving harder than they thought. Putting Lina' s inherited lake house up for rent at weekends seems like the solution to at least one of their problems. The secluded house is more of a burden than a retreat, anyway, and fixing up the old place makes Cain feel useful for once. But letting strangers stay in their house might not be the best idea. Someone is watching - their most mundane tasks, their most intimate moments - and all the things Lina and Cain want to keep hidden will be exposed. A darkly riveting psychological thriller from the bestselling author of Call Me Evie, In the Clearing and Tell Me Lies. ' J. P. Pomare' s first two books rocked my world - this one manages to exceed them. The Last Guests is a cunning, complex, contemporary thrill-ride. ' Christian White, author of The Nowhere Child' The Last Guests is a twisty thriller with an ending I didn' t see coming. A cautionary tale for our times. ' Megan Goldin, author of The Night Swim' The Last Guests will have you moving off-grid and throwing your cellphone in the nearest lake. This nerve-wracking, fast-paced tale takes all our fears about surveillance technology and twists them into one nightmarish Gordian knot. Carefully constructed, chilling and compelling, Pomare' s latest creation will keep you guessing right up to the last page. ' Rose Carlyle, author of The Girl in the Mirror' Meticulously plotted and relentlessly tense, The Last Guests is J. P. Pomare at the top of his psych-thriller game. On one hand, it' s an innovative, exhilarating and deeply unsettling story about technology and the underbelly of cyber-crime . . . On the other, it' s a sharp and thoughtful exploration of marriage, intimacy, trust and the things we do for love. The characters and settings get right under your skin and stay there. Couldn' t put it down, can' t stop thinking about it. Bump it to the top of your must-read list immediately. ' Anna Downes, author of The Safe Place' There' s no doubt about it: Pomare is a master of the carefully constructed, impeccably paced psycho-thriller. ' The Australian' Reading J. P. Pomare is like watching a magic trick. While you focus on his hands, you fail to see what' s really happening right in front of your eyes, or behind you, or outside your window. ' Michael Robotham' One of the mos
