Beach Thriller by Jamie Day

BOOK BLURB

Holly Sinclair, a struggling author, is dead broke. After being evicted from her New York apartment, she returns to her family’s dilapidated beach house in coastal New England with one urgent goal: write a book that sells. Fast.

Reinventing herself won’t be easy, but the old seaside town offers a few unexpected allies. Gail, a driven local Realtor, introduces her to a charming handyman who can help her get back on her feet. Serena, the town psychic, offers encouragement and an unsettling warning about danger ahead. And Jade, a teen runaway, is hiding out in Holly’s attic and desperately needs a safe place to land.

Holly takes Jade in, and soon the girl finds work with the powerful Carmichael family. Their dynasty has faded, but their connection to Holly’s past is darker than she wants to remember. Their secrets could put both women at risk.

Not everyone is glad to see Holly return. Someone in town is watching her every move. The Watcher knows something Holly doesn’t. The past may be a foggy echo, but it’s close enough to come rushing in with the tide.

MY REVIEW

A woman returns to her family’s dilapidated beach house to write a book and find answers from the past.

Beach Thriller is a mystery that slowly reveals its secrets. The story is told through the alternating points of view of Holly, Jade, and The Watcher. Holly has returned home to write a book and investigate her sister’s death from years earlier. Jade is a runaway teen staying with Holly and working for a wealthy family in town. The Watcher is not happy with Holly’s return.

Beach Thriller has engaging characters and a tense plot. Recommended for readers who enjoy atmospheric thrillers.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
