New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hawkins is back with a thrilling new gothic suspense set in a Gulf Coast beach motel where hurricane season can be murder. This program features multicast narration.

"The narrators provide outstanding performances, creating such believable characters that listeners might wonder if the story is based in fact." —Library Journal on The Heiress

St. Medard’s Bay, Alabama is famous for three things: the deadly hurricanes that regularly sweep into town, the Rosalie Inn, a century-old hotel that’s survived every one of those storms, and Lo Bailey, the local girl infamously accused of the murder of her lover, political scion Landon Fitzroy, during Hurricane Marie in 1984.

When Geneva Corliss, the current owner of the Rosalie Inn, hears a writer is coming to town to research the crime that put St. Medard’s Bay on the map, she’s less interested in solving a whodunnit than in how a successful true crime book might help the struggling inn’s bottom line. But to her surprise, August Fletcher doesn’t come to St. Medard’s Bay alone. With him is none other than Lo Bailey herself. Lo says she’s returned to her hometown to clear her name once and for all, but the closer Geneva gets to both Lo and August, the more she wonders if Lo is actually back to settle old scores.

As the summer heats up and another monster storm begins twisting its way towards St. Medard’s Bay, Geneva learns that some people can be just as destructive—and as deadly—as any hurricane, and that the truth of what happened to Landon Fitzroy may not be the only secret Lo is keeping.

Riveting. Strong female characters!

Hawkins is a great writer! She makes it seem so effortless. Lots of twists and turns, and nothing is over-explained. Some mystery writing is so dumb, but not Hawkins. I love her stories.

Fell flat

I didn't feel there was a believable kinship with any of the women, which is disappointing. I personally didn't gravitate towards any of the women myself. So, August was a breath of fresh air when he first arrived on the scene. I liked hearing about his story and where it was going. Unfortunately, it didn't last and the ending wasn't very creative. Repetitive and unremarkable. So that's it? Ho hum . . .

Stormy Revelations

Liked the Southern gothic atmosphere of this book and the storyline. Maybe a little predictable, but original enough to keep me interested.

Finished in one day

Not one piece of this was horror, but it was a great book. Highly recommended

An incredible story

Great story, writing and narration! Couldn’t stop listening, finished in 24 hours because I couldn’t stop. The story is almost as powerful as the storm.
