Although you are a friendly girl or a lovely person, you should not smile with unwanted guests if you really want to get rid of them. Who knows, they like your smile and you should stop it whenever you meet them. If you hate them visit you but still smile they may be confused and think that they are welcome in your house. 5. Visit Their House Is that unwanted guest an untidy person? Just make them a list of specific chores. Make sure that the chores shouldn’t be too hard but they need to be constant. For example: changing the baby, vacuuming the house, walking the dog, mowing the lawn, etc. I’m sure nobody on vacation is interested in having their hands worked like that. 11. Tell Them Someone Else Is Going To Stay

Let them know that your work and family life are so busy that you can’t be the type of host you want to be at the moment. They should consider visiting again in the future. The setting for this is a family-run hotel where our guests go to escape from the world, reconnect within their relationships and unwind. And without spoiling, I have to say the very last chapter left me with a grin of pleasure on my face. It was perfect! The last little twist left me giddy with excitement. I can’t wait for readers to discover this book!

The useful way to get rid of the intention of unwelcome houseguests is annoying them. If they would like to go to bed early, make a lot of noise or play the music loud. Prepare some foods to which they are allergic. They will understand that it’s difficult for them to be in harmony. I am sure that they will be fed up with staying with you and want to leave immediately. 13. Just Tell Them To Leave Lapena has written a great whodunit, with a delicious Christie-like vibe. Fans of the author’s first novel will want this, and anyone who savors a well-crafted murder mystery will gobble it up!”Other readers seem to love Shari Lapena’s books but I think it’s time for me to admit that her books just aren’t for me. It would be boring if we all enjoyed the same things!

This murder mystery gave me all the CLUE vibes and I loved it so much! A large cast of characters trapped in a remote hotel during a snowstorm with no electricity or cell service? Yeah, sign me up. As the guests arrive at beautiful, remote Mitchell's Inn, they're all looking forward to a relaxing weekend deep in the forest, miles from anywhere. They watch their fellow guests with interest, from a polite distance.Overall, I loved this chilling murder-mystery. So far it’s my favorite book from this author and I recommend it to everyone. SHARI LAPENA delivers an atmospheric, appealing and cleverly written read here that has an old-fashioned whodunit storyline, a huge cast of characters and an extremely eerie and haunting setting. Even though this book has several characters in it I was never confused in who was who or had any trouble in keeping them all straight. Like with “The Couple Next Door”... it’s not that I found either book utterly riveting...but simply interesting & enjoyable. I like the ‘easy-going-style’ of Shari’s suspense writing. FUN is the best way for me to describe it..... The psychological thrillers of Lapena are masterclasses in tightly plotted, economical narrative…This third novel has a premise straight out of a Agatha Christie classic" Right from the start, Shari Lapena pulled us into this story with a very chilling setting here with a hotel snowed in. We all loved the feeling we got from the storm and the spooky feeling of being trapped with people you don’t know, with nowhere to go and no one can come to help. The suspense and tension rises when bodies start to drop like flies and we started questioning just who was the unwanted guest.
