Freida McFadden called Beach Thriller "an unputdownable and gripping thriller with nonstop twists and turns."
Before the Beach: Meet Jamie Day, Author of Beach Thriller
Join us for a special summer Satruday with bestselling author Jamie Day as we celebrate the release of her highly anticipated new novel, Beach Thriller.
Set in a picturesque Massachusetts seaside town, Beach Thriller follows struggling novelist Holly Sinclair, who returns to the beach community where her sister died nearly twenty years earlier. Hoping to reinvent herself and write a bestseller, Holly instead finds herself pulled into a web of long-buried secrets, a powerful local family, a missing teenager, and a mystery that refuses to stay buried.
Jamie Day has become a favorite among suspense readers with her bestselling novels The Block Party, One Big Happy Family, and The Lake Escape—stories known for combining vacation settings, neighborhood secrets, and irresistible twists. Beach Thriller continues that tradition while adding a gothic coastal atmosphere and a clever book-within-a-book mystery.
Early praise has been enthusiastic. Freida McFadden calls the novel "unputdownable and gripping," while Kimberly Belle describes it as "twisty, taut, and laced with unease." Christina Dodd praises its blend of sisterhood, cold-case intrigue, and gothic suspense.
Whether you're already a Jamie Day fan or simply looking for your next great summer read, this is the perfect way to kick off beach-reading season.
