Passerby by Britney King

 

Jester Falls has always been an idyllic town. The kind of place where people come to escape. And there's no better place to stay than Magnolia House, a charming bed and breakfast run by the eccentric Channing family.

Ruth Channing has spent her life protecting her family and their legacy. She would doanything to keep them safe.

But anything takes on a whole new meaning when her brother brings home a mysterious woman he found stranded on the side of Route 78.

Ashley Parker is not who she says she is. Everything about her feels off—her story, her past, even her name. But the most troubling part? Her refusal to leave.

Then the guests at Magnolia House start disappearing. And Ruth realizes that Ashley isn't the only one hiding something.

Dark, atmospheric, and utterly gripping, Passerby is a chilling thriller that blends family drama, deception, and psychological suspense into a pulse-pounding mystery. Perfect for fans of slow-burning suspense, secrets buried in small towns, and psychological thrillers that keep you hooked until the final, shocking page.
