About this listen

The latest novel from New York Times best-selling author Jennifer McMahon is an atmospheric, gripping, and suspenseful tale that probes the bond between sisters and the peril of keeping secrets.

Once the thriving attraction of rural Vermont, the Tower Motel now stands in disrepair, alive only in the memories of Amy, Piper, and Piper's kid sister, Margot. The three played there as girls until the day that their games uncovered something dark and twisted in the motel's past, something that ruined their friendship forever.
Now adult, Piper and Margot have tried to forget what they found that fateful summer, but their lives are upended when Piper receives a panicked midnight call from Margot, with news of a horrific crime for which Amy stands accused. Suddenly, Margot and Piper are forced to relive the time that they found the suitcase that once belonged to Silvie Slater, the aunt that Amy claimed had run away to Hollywood to live out her dream of becoming Hitchcock's next blonde bombshell leading lady. As Margot and Piper investigate, a cleverly woven plot unfolds—revealing the story of Sylvie and Rose, two other sisters who lived at the motel during its 1950s heyday. Each believed the other to be something truly monstrous, but only one carries the secret that would haunt the generations to come.

Praise for Jennifer McMahon and The Winter People

“Crisp, mysterious and scary. . . . Reminiscent of Stephen King.” —USA Today


“McMahon has developed a subgenre of psychological mysteries . . . in creepily seductive settings.” —Booklist (starred review)


“Gives readers just want they want from a good thriller: can’t-put-it-down, stay-up-until-dawn reading.” —Bookpage


“McMahon’s gift is the deliciously twisty way she subverts all of your expectations, keeping you guessing with wry wit and feverish chills.” —People


“A hauntingly beautiful read.” —Oprah.com

After reading The Winter People I knew this author was something special. Couple that with her choice of Cassandra Campbell as the narrator and you're on a winner.

The title itself lacks something that The Winter People had however I still found it hard to out down. such wonderful writing and depth of character.

Another great story from Jennifer Mcmahon
