"[An] entertaining thriller [that] maintain[s] tension and intrigue through to the satisfying end. The author’s fans will devour this.” —Publishers Weekly

The Paris Apartment meets The Wrong Family in this thrilling tale of crime, passion and murder set in a run-down apartment complex packed with shady characters willing to go to deadly lengths to keep their darkest secrets from the stranger in their midst.

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.

I loved this book

Great mystery, kept me guessing the whole time. Flawed but likable characters. Great plot development. Just a well crafted book overall and the narration was perfect.

Another GREAT One!!!

I loved the character development, plot, wittiness, mystery and narrator and HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK

Captivating and unpredictable though with the pieces truly fitting at the end

I loved all of it! I couldn’t stop listening. I’m an avid psychological thriller book reader/listener. One of the best ones I’ve listened to in a while! Highly recommend!

Unpredictable mystery with vivid characters.

Seraphina Nova Glass’s writing style describes the events and characters so vividly I can see them. She writes with a lot of relatable humor in her descriptions of situations and the thoughts of the characters, although this is definitely not a comedy.

Conversations/dialog between characters is so believable, creating a wide cast of interesting characters I was invested in, with at least one I cared about. If you have ever lived or worked in or around low-income housing, these characters and their situations are real and relatable! Well researched.

The mystery is complex and takes several surprising turns, at times it is suspenseful. There was a point early on I thought I knew what the outcome would be, but this was not predictable. The clues to the mystery are scattered throughout the events/action of the plot, not just told through the narration. There is no filler in this book, all the events and actions further the plot, either as clues to the mystery or red herrings that created the twists.

There is some profanity, no explicit sex scenes, and although there are a couple of violent crimes, they are not overly dark or disturbing.

The narration was excellent, with Stacey Glemboski as Cass being my absolute favorite.

The ending was satisfying and hopeful, and it came together with no loose ends.

loved this book

at first it was slow to getting to the good stuff. but once it picks up its on fire. it was very good. even the person reading the story was wonderful. must get.enjoy.

great

Solid book very entertaining recommend and need to put fifteen words so I will use shorter ones I am not sure why that’s silly

Very entertaining story with wonderful characters

I’ve listened to a lot of audiobooks this year and forget many of them as the formula is so similar.
This book has a wonderful group of memorable, oddball, lovable characters that I felt I knew. I especially loved the relationship between Cass and Sinatra. What a cool kid. I definitely recommended this heartwarming, engaging thriller. Well done!! The narrators were also spot on.

Absolutely brilliant!

Wow! This book was absolutely brilliantly written and told. Bravo to the author and narrators.

Interesting

I thought the story was good. The characters added much to the story. Narrator did a nice job.

Absolutely.Loved.This

Better than anything I’ve listen too in a long time- so creative, detailed, intense and thrilling. Kept me intrigued and even made me laugh (because Brittany Pressley is so unbelievably good at what she does). Highly recommend, and I’m sure I’ll be listening again in a month or so- it’s just that good.
