This is a family of 3 siblings working through past trauma. They’re all in complicated relationships because they all have a share of emotional problems. Jo, the main character, is being stalked by a serial killer on the island where her family runs a bed and breakfast inn. Very suspenseful! This is a fairly old book and at times kind of cringey. In the sex scenes nobody takes no for an answer but they all say no when they don’t mean it. If you can skim through those parts, the mystery and suspense is quite good.
