The Unexpected Guest

A truly very light read that, despite its brevity, manages to build an incredible amount of tension. It is essentially a play written as a novella, and therefore full of dialogue and twists. This keeps the reader constantly engaged, guessing and anticipating what will happen next. As someone who usually reads only in German, I had no trouble at all reading it in English. A clear recommendation for this book — not very complex, but thoroughly gripping.
