Viv took the job to save enough money to move to New York City, but she never made it. What follows is a truly nightmarish trip back and forth in time and into the supernatural, as Viv in 1982 and Carly in 2017 try to find out who is killing local girls, crimes that the police have largely given up on solving. Carly Kirk’s aunt, Viv Delaney, disappeared from the small town in 1982, and Carly is determined to find out what happened to her, going so far as to move to the town and take the same job as the long-gone woman, night clerk at the motel. This time the author’s imagination takes readers to the run-down, barely-hanging-on Sun Down Motel in upstate New York, and the fear ramps way up. James’ previous thriller, The Broken Girls (2018), took place largely in a forbidding boarding school.
