Beach Thriller by Jamie Day

Some stories are made for the shore. This one? It’s best read with the sound of waves just outside your window.

From Jamie Day, the author behind The Block Party, One Big Happy Family, and The Lake Escape, comes a riveting new summer suspense that we couldn’t put down.

It’s been nearly twenty years since Holly last set foot in the charming seaside town of Beauport, Massachusetts. The boardwalk still hums with tourists. Crescent Beach still catches the cold Atlantic light. But the past has a long memory—and Holly’s hasn’t loosened its grip since the day her sister died here, and she did nothing to stop it.

A struggling writer with dwindling sales, Holly has nowhere left to go but back. Back to the abandoned family beach house. Back to the place she last saw her sister alive.

She arrives chasing a bestseller. But someone is watching her every move. The Watcher knows the secrets Holly doesn’t—and some secrets are meant to stay buried.

As she pieces her life back together, Holly takes in a runaway teen named Jade. When Jade lands a job with the once-powerful Carmichael family—the family forever tangled in Holly’s tragic past—the danger creeps closer. And closer.

Twisty, atmospheric, and impossible to set down, this is a thriller that lingers long after the final page.

Nestled here on our shelves in Perkins Cove, it’s waiting for you. Salt air. A long beach afternoon. And a secret worth uncovering.
