Pub-date: 9 Apr 2024

Thank you @graydonhousebooks   @thrillerbookloverspromotions  
@seraphinanovaglass for allowing me to be on this exclusive book tour.

Well, folks, I have a new auto-buy author on my list. I devoured this book and just couldn't put it down! I'm giving it all the stars because I can't think of a thing I didn't like. The characterisation and the whole setting and dialogues were as authentic as it gets.

I just love this author's writing style and the fact that she can hold my attention from the very first page. It’s the ‘just-one-more-chapter’ kind of book where you’re dying to know what’s going on and before you know it, you’re racing through the pages. The pace just never relents.

Anna moves into a a run-down flat in the Sycamour motel turned into apartment complex, where her husband Henry was painting in the days leading up to his suicide. She wants to understand what led to his act, but especially why he mentioned killing someone in his last phone call to her.

She spends her days getting to know the tenants and Cass, a young woman who runs the place and acts as the ‘handyman’ around the units.

Cass has her own demons to fight, after being dumped by her rich boyfriend, she is now reduced to blackmailing married men who pick her up at the bar, in order to survive. But one night her little plan goes horribly wrong.

This has it all, adrenaline pumping scenes, sleazy characters, a cute little boy, a murderer, and a whole cast of batshit-crazy tenants you won’t easily forget.

Full of jaw dropping twists this is a book you can’t afford to miss!
