The Spare Room

The New York Times bestselling author of the Reese's Book Club selection We Were Never Here writes a riveting domestic suspense book in which staying with a friend and her husband is more seductive and deadly than anybody could have expected.

Kelly's brand-new life in Philadelphia has descended into a nightmare: she has no friends, no work, and is stuck in a small apartment with the man she sacrificed her all for—who has just called off their wedding—due to the lockdown. The one silver lining is that she and her childhood friend Sabrina, who is now a glamorous best-selling author with a charming and powerful husband, have recently reestablished their friendship.

Kelly leaps at the chance to flee her old life when Sabrina and Nathan offer an escape hatch, offering the spare room of their isolated Virginia estate. Kelly discovers that she is secretly falling in love with both of her captivating hosts there. However, one night, a wild and unexpected threesome convinces the pair to open their marriage to her.

Kelly initially enjoys being a part of this edgy new world. However, she begins to question whether they could be dangerous and whether she might be the next when she learns that the previous lady they accepted into their marriage has vanished.

Andrea Bartz is known for her trademark tension, twists, and toxic relationships. Her latest work, The Spare Room, is a bold and innovative departure from her previous work as the "master of the 'feminist thriller.'" (Los Angeles Times).
