The Stranger in the Guest Room by V.K. Lockwood Book Review

 

I received a gifted copy and am providing a review.

This was certainly a quick read! If you don’t have time for a long book or are taking a trip, pick this one up! It has what a psychological thriller should contain – Erika hiding out in a cabin in the Northwoods, to finish writing her book. Brooks, her ex, unexpectedly stops by to see her “one last time,” but the expected snowstorm moves in and is too deep for him to leave. He has mood swings which Erika does not understand. Easton, the neighbor. His periodic visits send Brooks into a tailspin. Erika understands nothing of what is going on with Brooks and he won’t tell her.

This short story contains quite a few underlying themes, leading the reader down one road only to find out it goes in a totally different direction. Love, loss, forgiveness. Again, it is going to be interesting watching/reading Ms. Lockwood as she progresses through her writing career.
