The Woman In My Guest House Is Wearing My Dead Sister's Face

by Jonathan Pierce

Elena Vance is a prisoner in her own luxury estate, tethered by a snowstorm and her son’s life-support machine. Her only help is her sister, Diana, living in the guest house—the devoted aunt who gave up everything to help. [HOOK] But when a glitch in the baby monitor broadcasts a conversation from the guest cottage, Elena hears a stranger's voice—cruel, coarse, and calculating—coming from her sister’s mouth. Trapped with a woman who wears her sister’s face but doesn't know their childhood lullabies, Elena must navigate a deadly game of cat and mouse using the only weapon she has: her home's digital nervous system. [SETUP] If Diana is an imposter, where is the real sister? And why does Elena’s husband seem to be protecting the stranger in the guest house? Elena has no weapons, but she has the admin passwords, the medical logs, and the rage of a mother cornered. [STAKES] She has fourteen days before the snow clears. She needs to prove they are liars before they decide she is no longer necessary. [CLIFFHANGER]
