The Overlook Wife

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Some marriages are better left unseen.

Rena drove a thousand miles to vanish.

A quiet Adirondack town. A bartender with steady hands. An apartment above the Overlook.

It feels like the first safe place she’s had in years.

She is wrong.

Locked doors. Something waiting under the floorboards.

And the man she trusts may be the reason she can never leave.
