Finished: The Overnight Guest (Gudenkauf) A pretty good page-turner about a triple homicide that happened on a farm twenty years earlier, leaving twelve year old Josie without her parents or brother. The story is told in the present day time and in the twenty years past time...and is also told by a third viewpoint, that of a little girl who is apparently being held captive with her mother in a basement and has been all her life. There are lots of twists and turns, while the current day crime author, Wylie, who is staying at the remote farm cabin where it all went down, is trying to finish her latest book. With a huge snow storm hitting, Wylie heads out to load up her firewood and finds a small child nearly frozen to death in the snow and takes him into the cabin to warm him up. When he wakes up, he is terribly uncommunicative and frightened and some of the twists start falling into place, but not necessarily how you think they will. :-)
