BookTok reviewer Nora Chen has been looking forward to the Creepy Retreat for months, a long weekend of panels, cocktails, and four hundred thriller fans who understand that her reading habits are not a cry for help.
Then she finds the guest of honor floating face-down in a copper bathtub.
Darcy Vale was twenty-nine, brilliant, and the brightest new voice in thriller fiction. Now she's dead, the resort is locked down, and everyone has a motive. The desperate agent. The jealous boyfriend. The legendary author who's now old news.
But Nora knows something the detective doesn't: the answer isn't in the forensics. It's in the relationships. Thrust into the very concept she critiques, Nora will soon discover that... some stories are worth killing for.
