Le Belle Riviere was once an elegant hotel with a history of tragic events. Now abandoned and soon to be torn down, the hotel is said to be haunted. When Adrienne Reynolds goes to take pictures of the condemned hotel, she discovers the brutally murdered body of her best friend, Julianna, in one of the rooms. When Adrienne is attacked shortly afterwards, she figures the killer probably thinks she photographed some evidence.
Other chilling things start happening to Adrienne, and the hotel caretaker is also found murdered. Adrienne is struggling to make sense of everything that's going on in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. She knows she has to uncover the evil that's hiding in her hometown before it's too late.
This is a great mystery with thrilling intrigue. Thompson knows how to write gripping suspense and keep readers enthralled throughout.
Along the banks of the Ohio River, the small town of Point
Pleasant, West Virginia, has been the home of quiet
pleasures and safety for Adrienne Reynolds and her fourteen-
year-old daughter Skye since the death of Adrienne's
husband four years ago. Their sense of safety is shattered,
however, when Adrienne and Skye find the body of one of
Adrienne's best friends, Julianna, in a once-elegant, now
abandoned hotel named La Belle Riviere. La Belle has a long
history of misfortunes, but Julianna's murder is the most
gruesome.
Evidence indicates Julianna that had a secret lover whom
she met regularly in the hotel, and who could have been
with her in her final moments. The only person who knows
this lover's identity is the hotel caretaker, Claude
Duncan. But Claude is quickly silenced-drugged and burned
to death in his small cottage on the grounds of La Belle
the night after Julianna's death. One by one, people close
to Adrienne are brutally murdered, and it looks as though
she and Skye are the next targets of a fierce killer with a
shocking secret.
