About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Something hasn't been right at the Sun Down Motel for a very long time, and Carly Kirk is about to find out why . . .

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. But Viv feels that something is wrong, something disturbing and haunting. And then she vanishes.
2017
Carly Kirk has never been able to let go of the story of her aunt Viv. She decides to move to Fell and take a job at the hotel - as a night clerk - to try to get to the bottom of the mystery.
But Carly soon discovers that, before she vanished, Viv believed she was on the trail of something truly sinister.
And if Carly can't work out the truth soon, then she's in line to be the next victim . . .

Critic reviews

'Deliciously creepy. A chilling blend of mystery and ghost story' RILEY SAGER, New York Times bestselling author of Lock Every Door

'Spooky, unsettling, and brilliantly written, it will hook you early, and never let go' JENNIFER HILLIER, author of Jar of Hearts

More a thriller than a horror but okay. Not really twisty turny either. Liked the two time lines and the narration.

quirky story where a young woman decides to search for an aunt who disappeared years ago. it's told both in her voice and the aunts, and is mostly a thriller/mystery story, but casts in doses of the supernatural for colour and atmosphere. it moves along briskly with a few twists and turns, some more unexpected than others. its not one to class as a literary work but it's fun and entertaining.

The pace, the plot, the characters—everything was surprisingly good. The twist wasn't obvious, and the listening experience was really enjoyable.

A somewhat ghostly story, but not overly scary.

Never read/listened to this author before but the reviews made me.
This was such a good listen, spooky, mysterious and cleverly written.
All the characters were great strong women and it’s a good read for autumn.
