DESCRIPTION:
Holly Sinclair, a struggling writer, is forced from her cherished New York apartment and returns to her family's seaside cottage in the charming town of Beauport, Massachusetts—a home she hasn't seen in nearly twenty years. Guilt grabs her the moment she arrives. Years ago, her sister died here, and Holly still blames herself.
She arrives on a mission from her literary agent to write a best-selling novel. Her future depends on it. But she’s not the only one with an agenda. Someone is watching Holly's every move from the shadows. Desperate for a good idea, Holly makes the fateful choice to write about her past. The Watcher sees all and knows what Holly doesn’t: Some secrets must remain buried.
As threats from the ominous Watcher become increasingly sinister, Holly realizes that, even though the past is a faint echo, it is still close enough to be deadly.
Holly Sinclair is a struggling writer whose life has hit a rough patch. Recently evicted and feeling very much alone, she returns to Beauport, Massachusetts, the one place she swore she would never go back to. Nearly twenty years earlier, Holly lost her sister Anna, a tragedy that has haunted her ever since. With her writing career stalled, Holly is encouraged to write about Anna’s death and the events surrounding it.
Writing such a book is sure to be painful, but could it also be therapeutic? As Holly begins digging into the past and researching what really happened to Anna, she starts receiving threatening messages. Someone clearly does not want old secrets brought to light. At the same time, Holly unexpectedly finds herself caring for a runaway teenager named Jade. After hearing strange noises coming from her attic, Holly discovers Jade hiding there, and the girl’s arrival soon becomes intertwined with the mystery.
Told through multiple points of view, including those of Holly and Jade, the story also features a third narrator - an unnamed “Watcher.” This mysterious perspective adds an extra layer of suspense and creeping tension to an already intriguing story. The alternating viewpoints keep the pages turning as secrets slowly unravel and danger draws ever closer.
Jamie Day delivers a compelling blend of family drama, long-buried secrets, and psychological suspense. With its coastal Massachusetts setting, engaging characters, and steadily building tension, Beach Thriller is a captivating summer read that will keep readers guessing until the very end.
