"Sylva does a fine job drawing us into Tess's desperate and paranoid state, making us feel the 'familiar creep of cold disappointment' at each dead end in her sister's murder investigation. The thrilling ending jumps out of left field. It's not what you expected."
―The New York Times

"Sylva skillfully illustrates an unmoored character completely consumed by a spiraling, unrelenting grief in a setting where others continue their lives as usual. Moody and proceeding at a measured pace, Tess' narrative slowly unfolds toward a cinematic resolution."
--Kirkus Reviews

"A quietly eerie novel that from the first page is so deliciously unsettling that you can't help but read more. I loved it."
--Flora Collins, author of Nanny Dearest

"Lush with description, suspicious characters, and sharp twists, The Guest Room is an atmospheric thriller with a chilling soul. In Tess, Sylva has created a wounded yet tenacious narrator who will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Fans of The Girl on the Train will devour this one!
--L. Alison Heller, author of The Neighbor's Secret

"Tasha Sylva has crafted an absorbing thriller, in which a woman wrestling with her own grief can't tell which of the people in her orbit presents the most menace. It is a dizzying tale of obsession, where nothing--and no one--is exactly as it seems."
--Clémence Michallon, author of The Quiet Tenant

"A gripping mystery surrounding a dead sister that feels at once so unreachable, and yet so unbearably close. Beautifully written, taut, and smart, The Guest Room will have you asking how well you really know those closest to you..."
--L.V. Matthews, author of The Twins

"The Guest Room is a carefully constructed and compelling mystery, and a fine study of the way grief and uncertainty can disturb the mind. The final revelation is unexpected, and the ending is realistic and satisfying."
--Midwest Book Review
