A maid, the Bishop sisters, and lots of secrets……
The Precipice is a family-owned hotel located on the coast of Maine. The owner has passed away and his three daughters have come for the weekend to make their claim. Charley, who is a nineteen-year-old maid at the hotel worries about her job, them learning of her sticky fingers, the future of the hotel, and the woman she is hiding in one of the rooms.
Secrets and tension rule the day as the dysfunctional sisters and staff hunker down for a looming hurricane. All the characters have things going on, hidden motivations, big secrets, resentments, etc. This book was full of drama. This book also had atmosphere, tension and the trapped feeling that I enjoy in books. Having said that, this book felt slow in parts, drawn out in others and felt long, long, long.
I really thought that I would love this one, but sadly this was not the book for me. Others are enjoying it more than I did, so please check out their reviews as well.
This one just didn’t work for me. I had very high hopes and I enjoyed The Block Party, but this one missed the mark for me.
What did work for me was how Jamie Day captured the trapped feeling, ,the toxicity of the sisters, and the tension in the book.
