When Anna Hartley’s husband, Henry, calls her with a terrible, guilty confession, she can’t believe what she hears. It has to be a bad joke—the mild, predictable artist she married would never hurt a fly, let alone commit murder. But her confusion turns to horror when police find his body washed up on the banks of the Rio Grande. 

Desperate for answers to the millions of questions his untimely death has raised, Anna checks in to The Sycamores, the run-down motel turned apartment Henry rented as an art studio. As she absorbs every bit of gossip the eclectic mix of residents are willing to share about her husband and each other, she begins to piece together a picture of a very different man than the one she married, and the life he led behind her back. The more she learns, and the less sense things seem to make, she finds herself wondering: Did she ever really know Henry at all? 

But Henry’s secrets aren’t the only ones; as Anna’s search for clues expands, Cass, the mysterious, jaded motel manager, seems more and more determined to keep Anna in the dark. And when threatening letters start appearing at her door, Anna has to decide what’s more important—the truth, or her own safety.

READ MY BOOK REVIEW

I’m going to start off by saying this book is good. GREAT even, and a very easy 5 star read. But the setting? It blew me AWAY. I felt like I was at this motel/apartment complex and was sitting by the pool with the gals while the kids splashed around. Seraphina Nova Glass transported me right into the setting and it felt like I was watching a vivid movie as I was reading. Who would have thought that a simple setting such as this would play such a huge role in my love for the novel. It was absolutely perfect for this twisted psychological thriller.

This story is filled with great twists. I did NOT see them coming either. The fact that the author could successfully surprise me, a seasoned thriller reader who feels like she’s read it all, is astounding. There’re so many layers to this novel too and one would think that the alternating POVs would get confusing, but they don’t. In fact, they blend so perfectly together I never felt lost even for a second. Honestly, I think this may be one of my favorite thrillers of 2024 and I’m anxious to read the author’s backlog! Highly recommended!
