A murder case beneath the storm clouds

St. Medard’s Bay is shaped by recurring hurricanes, the century-old Rosalie Inn, and the lingering notoriety of a 1984 murder accusation against local Lo Bailey. When inn owner Geneva Corliss learns that a writer is coming to research the case, she sees a possible boost for the struggling business. The approaching storm brings the town’s old crime and present-day pressures into the same frame, linking the inn’s fortunes to the story that made it famous. The setup combines psychological suspense with a coastal community’s history and the practical stakes facing its hotel.

Book overview

A New York Times Bestselling Author

St. Medard's Bay, Alabama, is famous for three things: the deadly hurricanes that regularly sweep into town; the Rosalie Inn, a century-old hotel that's survived every one of those storms; and Lo Bailey, the local girl infamously accused of the murder of her lover in 1984. When Geneva Corliss, current owner of the Rosalie Inn, hears a writer is coming to town to research the crime that put St. Medard's Bay on the map, she's interested in how a successful true crime book might help the struggling inn's bottom line. But as the summer heats up and another monster storm begins, Geneva learns that some people can be just as destructive -- and deadly -- as any hurricane.
