À propos de ce titre
An aspiring chef finds she has bitten off more than she can chew when her gig as a private cook to a bestselling author turns deadly in this propulsive, whip-smart suspense novel.

Brett Novak is a young upstart chef, with real, raw talent—if only she could catch a break. After getting dumped by her married girlfriend and losing the perfect job offer, Brett accepts a temporary position as a live-in, personal chef of a reclusive, bestselling author, Carson Smart, who resides in a mansion on a secluded beach in Cape Cod.

Carson immediately seduces her, but things get complicated when Carson's wife, Vera, arrives home from her trip, and the love/hate relationship between the two spouses erupts, leaving Brett caught in the middle. Brett, starved for attention, craves Carson's affection and yet is oddly drawn to Vera's seductive and destructive charms.

As Brett becomes an unwitting pawn and weapon, she questions how far husband and wife will go to wound the other. With nowhere else to turn, she has no choice but to stay—even as her hold on reality begins to slip. Can she survive her employers’ dark appetites?

Avis de la critique

“Slow burn psychological suspense at its appetizing best with a tension that simmers until things finally boil over. Jennifer Pashley has cooked up a must read for anyone who loves Liv Constantine, Andrea Bartz, and Frieda McFadden.”—Kellye Garrett, author of Missing White Woman
“Besides being right up my noir alley with a sassy, sexy, troubled female chef protagonist, Pashley's House Guest has the kind of foodie detail that makes you drool and consider highlighting for future reference. Also some sentence gems. . . . Excessive wealth, beauty, alcohol, and dogs intertwine and turn eerie. This chef dishes out seabass and sex with the same desperation, and you want to yell Get out! But she has the guts to make her bad decisions stick. First lick to last, it's guilty pleasure without the calories, as they say. You’ll probably even burn some extras."—Vicki Hendricks, author of Miami Purity
