The Astrology House - by Carinn Jade (Paperback)

About the Book

"A debut of fresh, twisty domestic suspense that follows a cast of characters who arrive at an astrology-themed hotel for a weekend getaway, where past resentments and disturbing secrets come to light - and one of them will not leave alive. For a group of wealthy Manhattanites, it was supposed to be the perfect weekend away...No work, no kids, nothing but old friends, and two days at the hottest new boutique hotel on the coast-the ridiculously Instagrammable, astrologically-themed Stars Harbor. What could go wrong? For Margot, the weekend is a distraction-a shiny, tarot-card-shaped diversion from her inability to conceive a child, and her tenuous relationship with the only family she has left. For her brother, Adam, and his wife, Aimee, Stars Harbor is the perfect opportunity to rekindle their rapidly cooling relationship. Adam is a bestselling romance writer, after all-recreating the spark should be easy. Especially when his wife is willing to do whatever it takes to save their marriage. Meanwhile, for Aimee's friend, Farah, the getaway is confirmation of something she's long suspected-that she's in love with a married member of the group. Behind it all? Rini, the mysterious hotel owner with a shadowy past. As Rini's nightly astrological readings turn from kitschy fun to uncomfortably-even dangerously-accurate, the guests' buried impulses begin to burst to the surface. But The Astrologer isn't leaving fate in the hands of the Universe. She has a plan for each of her guests, and one of them won't be leaving alive..."--

Book Synopsis

A group of wealthy Manhattanites visit an astrology-themed hotel, where simmering resentments and long-held secrets lead to a shocking death in this fresh, twisty, and suspenseful debut that "welcomes an incredible new talent to the world of domestic suspense" (Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author).

Margot needs a minute. She's been working eighty-hour weeks as a newly minted partner at her law firm. She's disconnected from her brother, the only family she has left. And she's still not pregnant after years of trying.

Stars Harbor Astrological Retreat promises rest, relaxation, and wisdom for Margot and her friends. With Instagram-worthy views and nightly astrology readings in an impeccably restored waterfront Victorian house, this resort should be the ultimate getaway.

For Margot's brother, Adam, it's the perfect opportunity to invigorate his romantic life and inspire his writing. But his wife, Aimee, hides the darkness of her past with a beautiful social media feed. Their friend, Farah, is a successful doctor who cannot admit that she's losing control.

Yet no one holds a greater secret than their astrologer host, Rini. She has a plan for her guests, and one of them won't be leaving Stars Harbor alive.

Deliciously twisty, The Astrology House is "a page-turning story of redemption, secrets, and seeking the answers we need in the space between right and wrong" (Ashley Audrain, New York Times bestselling author).
