AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Something hasn’t been right at the roadside Sun Down Motel for a very long time, and Carly Kirk is about to find out why in this chilling new novel from the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of The Broken Girls.

Upstate New York, 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, New York. But something isnʼt right at the motel, something haunting and scary.

Upstate New York, 2017. Carly Kirk has never been able to let go of the story of her aunt Viv, who mysteriously disappeared from the Sun Down before she was born. She decides to move to Fell and visit the motel, where she quickly learns that nothing has changed since 1982. And she soon finds herself ensnared in the same mysteries that claimed her aunt.

great crime thriller in a long time. plot opens with a convenient set up. history repeating to conveniently for the author..... but the author has justified for the leniency. and a small side story of a cheating wife is an interesting twist. many books opens sharp but loose sight of the plot in the middle chapters, not this one. every chapter felt like one before the climax.... great read.... only the cheating wife and her husband vanish abruptly in the story.
