Viv’s perspective is in the third person, and Carly’s is in the first, and both POV styles worked well for their parts of the story, and worked together to weave a complex and rich set of mysteries.

Then in 2017, her niece Carly, wanting to figure out what happened to her aunt, arrives in Fell, and takes the same job Viv had. Stranded and broke, she decides to take a job as the night clerk at the Sun Down Motel, a run down motel that’s seedy at best. The first is that of Viv, who left home in 1982 in hopes of going to New York City, but finds herself in Fell, a strange small town in upstate New York that has a lot of weird and violent baggage. Our two stories/mysteries take place in two different timelines and POVs. And not just any old new book, but a new book involving a missing woman, a true crime obsessed amateur sleuth, AND a haunted motel! It’s like this book was written with me in mind!! ( source) I greatly enjoyed her book “The Broken Girls”, and when this ended up in my inbox I was happy to see that she had a new book. It’s been a long while since having that kind of experience, but I thought about it a lot as I read “The Sun Down Motel” by Simone St. Eventually my mother had it and we were upgraded to hotels, but there was always something kinda fun about the rooms leading out to the parking lot, at least in my mind. I have memories of spending childhood road trips, be it out to Lake Superior or just visiting family down in Iowa, staying in motels. Review: Thanks to Berkley and NetGalley for providing me with an eARC of this book! But something isn’t right at the Sun Down, and before long she’s determined to uncover all of the secrets hidden… Viv Delaney works as the night clerk to pay for her move to New York City. Some are locals, trying to hide their secrets. Some customers are from out of town, passing through on their way to someplace better.

Every small town like Fell, New York, has a place like the Sun Down Motel. Where Did I Get This Book: I received an eARC from the publisher via NetGalleyīook Description: The secrets lurking in a rundown roadside motel ensnare a young woman, just as they did her aunt thirty-five years before, in this new atmospheric suspense novel from the national bestselling and award-winning author of The Broken Girls.
