![]() ![]() Yes, this is the part in the book where you’ll be screaming at the main character to pack her bags and get the hell out of there naturally, she does no such thing. Her detective work takes her to the sleepy backwater town of Fell, New York, where she tries to retrace her aunt’s steps by taking the same night clerk job that the woman occupied at a decrepit old motel called The Sun Down. ![]() James has crafted a winning recipe: start with a nod to the Stephen King small-town setting, add a pinch of domestic suspense, throw in a dash of amateur sleuthing, and stir until the spirits slither out.Ĭarly is a young woman on the hunt for her aunt, who went missing a few decades ago. I try not to make grandiose predictions, but if The Sun Down Motel is any indication of the quality of thrillers we can look forward to in 2020, then we are on the cusp of a very, very good year for reading. ![]()
