A compulsive, easy, fun summer read * Daily Mail *
A story that is equal parts steamy and thrilling, it will leave you guessing about what the couple's motives really are * Glamour US *
The novel is delightfully salacious and rampant with suspense and sex, and there's a reason why Bartz is known as a hitmaker in the field * SHONDALAND *
Andrea Bartz has returned to deliver. This suspense story set in a Virginia mansion features some eyebrow-raising twists, especially when protagonist Kelly finds herself charmed by her hosts-and welcomed into their bed * ELLE *
A fresh and sexy ride, perfect for reading poolside * PEOPLE *
Bartz always brings a healthy portion of social satire and incisive observation to her thrillers * CRIMEREADS *
An enticing, twisty, and seductive thriller about obsession, desire, and revenge * NITA PROSE, #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of THE MAID *
Bartz's latest showstopper kept me up all night turning pages. Propulsive and sexy, The Spare Room left me gasping for air as I followed its main character into the fiery heart of a dark, complicated romance. Kelly Doyle must contend not only with two new lovers, but her own expectations surrounding relationships and sexuality. This is one visit you won't want to end * ANA REYES, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of THE HOUSE IN THE PINES *
I love a story where a woman throws convention to the wind and has to deal with messy consequences, and The Spare Room does it brilliantly. I never knew what would happen next! This book offers a delicious mix of romance and mystery that I couldn't get enough of * MARIE RUTKOSKI, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of REAL EASY *
With its dazzling prose, fascinating dynamics between characters, and dark, twisty plot, The Spare Room has all the trademarks of an Andrea Bartz novel - while being her sexiest and most exciting book yet. I couldn't stop turning the pages. Some of these scenes will be seared into my brain forever * MEGAN COLLINS, author of THE FAMILY PLOT, BEHIND THE RED DOOR and THE WINTER SISTER *
Rife with tension, taut desire, and jaw-dropping twists, The Spare Room lures us into a moneyed world as gothic as it is glamorous, where the difference between romantic dreams - and murderous nightmares - quickly becomes impossible to decipher. . . . A sensuous, spine-tingling thriller that's impossible to put down! * LEAH KONEN, author of THE PERFECT ESCAPE, YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME and ALL THE BROKEN PEOPLE *
A compulsive, easy, fun summer read * Daily Mail *
