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 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSeductive, 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 \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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. \n\u003cbr\u003e Kimberly Belle, author of THE EXPAT AFFAIR \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"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 \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBiographical Note\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJAMIE DAY lives in one of those picture-perfect, coastal New England towns you see in the movies.
