As a Category 5 hurricane makes its way ashore, wealth couple Marlowe and Lee are preparing to hunker down in their storm-ready mansion with their children, the kids' friends, and a couple of close employees. But just before the hurricane makes landfall, a trio of boaters ties up to their dock, seeking shelter from the storm. As Marlowe and Lee welcome their "guests," they soon discover that not everything is as it seems, and that it may be just as dangerous inside as it is outside.
This is a compelling, fast-paced novel filled with excellent twists and high stakes. Reading it in the aftermath of hurricanes Helene and Milton, however, put a bit of a different spin on it. Worth an afternoon read...but maybe wait until after hurricane season.
