In this gripping psychological thriller, Ellery Wainwright's twentieth wedding anniversary trip transforms into a solitary stay at the prestigious Resort at Broken Point in Big Sur. What should have been a celebration of marriage becomes a haunting exploration of loss when a wedding at the resort turns tragic. After discovering the groom's body floating in the pool, Ellery finds herself trapped with other guests following a devastating mudslide. As another death rocks the isolated resort, it becomes clear that someone among them is a killer. Each guest harbors dark secrets, and Ellery must confront not only her own personal shadows but also unravel the deadly mystery before another life is claimed in this atmospheric blend of domestic suspense and classic whodunit.
