I had not read any books by Sarah Hamaker before reading The Dark Guest, but I will be reading more by this author. The Dark Guest is a great suspense story that drew me in from the start and kept my attention until the end. The historical time period of The Cold War is one I have not seen much in fiction, and it was interesting to 're-live' some of the events about which the author wrote. The story is quite suspenseful and full of twists that kept me guessing about the outcome. The main characters, Violet and Henry, are compelling and unforgettable, and the author has placed them against the backdrop of startling history. The past can wreak havoc on the present, and The Dark Guest is a great example. Readers who enjoy historical fiction stories that weave together mystery, intrigue, and a sweet romance will not want to miss this book.
I read a complimentary copy of the book and was not required to write a positive review. The opinions are my own.
This review is part of a JustRead Publicity Tour for The Dark Guest by Sarah Hamaker.
