The Winter Guest

A deliciously twisty story of two unlikely hotel guests, from the Sunday Times bestselling author, Sarah Moss

Tell me the worst thing you’ve ever done.

On Christmas Eve, in a hotel on Ireland’s west coast, a man and a woman meet for the first time. As a snowstorm gathers outside windows twinkling with fairy lights, they share a meal, pour wine, propose a toast.

Janice and Gerry are strangers to one another, but they each have a story to tell, a confession to make.

As the blizzard howls, the night will take an unexpected turn, and their conversation will have consequences far beyond the candlelit table.
