Readers will follow Carly, an outsider, as she settles into Fell and begins to research the town’s history in the hopes of learning what happened to her aunt. The ease with which these timeframes are juggled is largely to the author’s credit readers will never be disoriented or distracted by the story’s shifting decades, but will instead find each minute spent in the past and present more engrossing than the last. The Sun Down Motel cleverly navigates two timelines, allowing readers to follow Carly in the present and Viv in the past as they each negotiate the dark underbelly of a sleepy rural town. Without a doubt, one of the best books like Whisper Man in this list. It is told to her that, in order to prevent burglars, tenants cannot leave an apartment empty for more than a month, and that she will reside in the apartment until the family decides what to do with it. Jules Larsen responds to a job posting for an apartment caretaker for an upmarket flat in The Bartholomew after the death of its inhabitant, having lost both her job and her boyfriend. It alternates between Maggie’s uncomfortable return and chapters from her father’s book. Home Before Dark is the story of a house with long-buried secrets and a woman’s attempt to uncover them-even if the truth is far more scary than any haunting.
