The Astrology House - by Carinn Jade

About the Book

"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. ... Behind it all? Rini, the mysterious hotel owner with a shadowy past. As Rini's nightly astrological readings turn from kitschy fun to uncomfortable--and 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).
