From the publisher: "The
secrets lurking in a rundown roadside motel ensnare a young woman, just as they
did her aunt thirty-five years before, in this new atmospheric suspense novel
from the national bestselling and award-winning author of The Broken Girls.
Upstate NY, 1982. Every small town like Fell, New York, has a place like the
Sun Down Motel. Some customers are from out of town, passing through on their
way to someplace better. Some are locals, trying to hide their secrets. Viv
Delaney works as the night clerk to pay for her move to New York City. But
something isn't right at the Sun Down, and before long she's determined to
uncover all of the secrets hidden there. Upstate NY, 2017. Carly Kirk has
always been fascinated by her aunt Viv who disappeared from the Sun Down before
Carly was born. Using a small inheritance from when her mom dies, Carly leaves
college to go to Fell to figure out what happened to her aunt thirty-five years
ago. Soon, Carly is mirroring her aunt's life, working as the night clerk at
the motel, which hasn't changed since 1982. The guest book is still
handwritten, the rooms still have actual keys, and a haunting presence still
lingers. Carly discovers that Viv had been trying to unravel mysteries of her own--including
a possible serial killer working in Fell. If Carly can find the answers Viv was
searching for, she might be able to solve the mystery that has haunted her
family for years.”
