" An] entertaining thriller that] maintain s] tension and intrigue through to the satisfying end." --Publishers Weekly

When Anna Hartley's husband, Henry, calls her with a terrible, guilty confession, she can't believe what she hears. It has to be a bad joke--the mild, predictable artist she married would never hurt a fly, let alone commit murder. But her confusion turns to horror when police find his body washed up on the banks of the Rio Grande.

Desperate for answers to the millions of questions his untimely death has raised, Anna checks in to The Sycamores, the run-down motel turned apartment Henry rented as an art studio. As she absorbs every bit of gossip the eclectic mix of residents are willing to share about her husband and each other, she begins to piece together a picture of a very different man than the one she married, and the life he led behind her back. The more she learns, and the less sense things seem to make, she finds herself wondering: Did she ever really know Henry at all?

But Henry's secrets aren't the only ones; as Anna's search for clues expands, Cass, the mysterious, jaded motel manager, seems more and more determined to keep Anna in the dark. And when threatening letters start appearing at her door, Anna has to decide what's more important--the truth, or her own safety.

Absolutely Riverting

Whatever outcome you think is going to happen...trust me it doesn't. I couldn't put this book down. Highly recommend to anyone who likes a good whodunit book.

Liked the audiobook so much I'm buying a hard copy

I loved the small town desert motel vibe and the look into the lives of the characters with the twists thrown in. It felt like a life suddenly thrown into chaos would, some days slow and some full of activity. Seraphina has a way of making you feel like you're on location which was exactly what I needed listening to her books at a job I didn't like. Looking forward to reading the paper book.

2 stars:(

This was almost a DNF! At around pg 124 I was ready to, then it seemed to get a lil better and pick up. But, that didn't last long. I only finished it because I had invested so much time in it. This book was so back and forth, it was not well written at all. It got 2 stars because I finished it.
