About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Something hasn't been right at the Sun Down Motel for a very long time, and Carly Kirk is about to find out why . . .

1982
Viv Delaney wants to move to New York City, and to help pay for it she takes a job as the night clerk at the Sun Down Motel, in Fell. But Viv feels that something is wrong, something disturbing and haunting. And then she vanishes.
2017
Carly Kirk has never been able to let go of the story of her aunt Viv. She decides to move to Fell and take a job at the hotel - as a night clerk - to try to get to the bottom of the mystery.
But Carly soon discovers that, before she vanished, Viv believed she was on the trail of something truly sinister.
And if Carly can't work out the truth soon, then she's in line to be the next victim . . .

'Spooky, unsettling, and brilliantly written, it will hook you early, and never let go' JENNIFER HILLIER, author of Jar of Hearts

The performance was great! I loved the plot and how it switched between past and present.

Second book I have read of Simone St. James. I like that the stories have ghosts but it's not a horror story. I could see this being a good thriller series or movie. Performances were good too, recommended if you like murder mysteries!

A bit liberal with the rating but it's a good book!

this is just an awful book and such stories are over done.
one moment in your are in 1980 and the other moment you are in 2017.
Not impressed at all. The atmosphere you want to be created lasts just 20 minutes or so in the book.
There is no eerie quality we readers want.

For perspective, Ruth Ware's turn of the key and Hawkins' Girl on the train and even the housemaid are better stories.
This is not something I recommend.

another awful book about murders
