Publisher’s Synopsis:
“The Precipice is a legendary, family-owned hotel on the rocky coast of Maine. With the recent passing of their father, the Bishop sisters—Iris, Vicki, and Faith—have come for the weekend to claim it. But with a hurricane looming and each of the Bishop sisters harboring dangerous secrets, there’s murder in the air—and not everyone who checks into the Precipice will be checking out.
Each sister wants what is rightfully hers, and in the mix is the Precipe’s nineteen-year-old chambermaid Charley Kelley: smart, resilient, older than her years, and in desperate straits.
The arrival of the Bishop sisters could spell disaster for Charley. Will they close the hotel? Fire her? Discover her habit of pilfering from guests? Or even worse, learn that she’s using a guest room to hide a woman on the run.”
My Review:
I was so hooked on this story! I loved it even more than her debut last year, The Block Party.
I felt the characters were memorable and well fleshed out.
The creepy atmosphere lent perfectly for building tension and suspense. I felt satisfied at figuring a few things out and shocked at the things I didn’t see coming.
I thought the pacing was well-balanced and kept me engaged and invested.
Also, there’s just something about this cover that I was immediately drawn to and it totally fits the vibe of the story. It’s a perfect summer thriller read.
I listened to the audio and I thought it was very well done. The narrator captured the voice of the characters and the tone of the story very well.
Definitely recommend!
