Excellent murder mystery. An easy read.
Fast paced. Interesting construction.
Highly recommended.
Quinn Alexander has committed an unthinkable crime.
To avoid spending her life in prison, Quinn makes a run for it. She leaves behind her home, her job, and her family. She grabs her passport and heads for the northern border before the police can discover what she’s done.
But when an unexpected snowstorm forces her off the road, Quinn must take refuge at the broken-down, isolated Baxter Motel. The handsome and kindly owner, Nick Baxter, is only too happy to offer her a cheap room for the night.
Unfortunately, the Baxter Motel isn’t the quiet, safe haven it seemed to be. The motel has a dark and disturbing past. And in the dilapidated house across the way, the silhouette of Nick’s ailing wife is always at the window. Always watching.
I’m not a fan of all the McFadden books.
For example, I got about 1/3 of the way through her book The Tenant — then quit because the protagonist, Blake Porter, was so annoying. 😀
She is very popular, however.
