Passerby: A Psychological Thriller

By Britney King

A stranger arrives at the family bed-and-breakfast. Then the guests start disappearing.

Jester Falls has always been idyllic.

Perfect for a getaway.

And Magnolia House is exactly where tourists go to enjoy it: charming rooms, Southern hospitality, and the eccentric Channing family making sure everyone feels at home.

Ruth Channing loves her family.

At least what's left of it.

She'd do anything to protect them. Then her brother finds Ashley Parker alone on the side of Route 78, and Ruth discovers the word anything has more definitions than she realized.

Everything about Ashley rings false.

Her past.

Her profession.

Even her name.

Most worrying of all, she doesn't seem particularly interested in leaving.

Then tourists start disappearing.

Jester Falls is still perfectly charming.

If you overlook the missing people.

And the stranger upstairs.

And the increasingly uncomfortable possibility that Ashley Parker didn't wander into Magnolia House by accident.

Hospitality has its limits. So does Ruth.

A dark small-town psychological thriller about family loyalty, missing tourists, Southern manners, and the houseguest who should have kept walking.
