Summary

It’s been almost twenty years since Holly set foot in Beauport, Massachusetts. A struggling novelist, her slumping sales have led to her eviction from her beloved New York apartment. Now, she must live in the last place she wants to be: her family’s long-abandoned beach house.

She arrives on a mission from her literary agent: write a book that sells. Reinventing herself won’t be easy. But at least she acquires some helpful friends along the way. There’s Gail, the property-obsessed rea…

Critics Review

“Set in an idyllic New England seaside town, Jamie Day’s new thriller is rife with juicy gossip, slippery locals, and more than one buried secret. Day is a master plotter–the twists piling up like waves on a shore–but also a born entertainer, ratcheting up the suspense while also delivering complicated family dynamics, a touching love story, and a sly sense of humor. A real page-turner.” – Peter Swanson, author of KILL YOUR DARLINGS

Seductive, sinister, and impossible to put down, Beach Thriller proves that there’s nothing more dangerous than returning to the place where your worst secrets were born. Jamie Day turns a postcard-perfect seaside town into a pressure cooker of guilt, buried truths, and quiet menace, where the past watches–and waits. Smart, atmospheric, and deliciously unsettling, this is the kind of beach read that lures you in with sunlight and charm…then tightens its grip long after the last page. Bravo! – Kaira Rouda, author of WE WERE NEVER FRIENDS

In Beach Thriller, Jamie Day trades crashing waves for creeping dread. When a struggling writer returns to the beach town where her sister died, she plans to rewrite her future–but someone’s watching, and they know exactly where the bodies are hidden. Twisty, taut, and laced with unease, this is a seaside suspense story with teeth.
Kimberly Belle, author of THE EXPAT AFFAIR

“Take the familiar themes of sisterhood, a cold case and a woman’s reluctant return to her small home town, put them in the hands of master Jamie Day, and you have BEACH THRILLER, a slow build Gothic suspense that keeps you reading while on the edge of your seat.”– Christina Dodd, author of THUS WITH A KISS I DIE
