Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin’s Press and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest thriller by Rachel Hawkins, with the audiobook narrated by a full cast. All opinions expressed in this review are my own – 4 stars!
St. Medard’s Bay, Alabama, is famous for three things: the deadly hurricanes that sweep into town; the Rosalie Inn that’s survived every one of those storms; and Lo Bailey, the local girl accused of the murder of her lover, Landon Fitzroy, in 1984. Geneva Corliss’ family has owned the Rosalie Inn but it’s struggling now. When she is contacted by a writer, she’s hoping that a true crime book might help draw people to the inn. But August Fletcher brings Lo Bailey along with him, who says she’s anxious to clear her name. But as Geneva gets closer to both of them, she has her doubts.
Rachel Hawkins is wonderful at atmospheric thrillers, and this one definitely has tension as yet another storm is about to hit the bay. I started reading this one, but the audiobook has an amazing full cast which I love, and I quickly switched over to that format. There are multiple POV and timelines as we learn about the hurricanes’ impact on the Inn as well as the women in the story. I enjoyed seeing the mysteries and secrets unravel.
