The Overnight Guest is Heather Gudenkauf’s most recent and 8th novel. It follows the story of Wylie Lark, a true-crime writer, who rented a secluded farmhouse so she could focus on writing her latest project. At the same house decades before, a family was murdered, and a girl went missing. 
    
    The novel is propelled by three central plots: the present, where Wylie found an unconscious boy outside the house amid a snowstorm; the past set in August 2000, where Josie’s family were murdered in the same home Wylie was staying, and her friend, Becky, went missing; and the last one was narrated by a third person who tells the story of a child with her mother and abusive father. Readers should brace themselves as they delve deeper to find out how the three timelines are intertwined.
