*** A JANUARY 2023 ONCE UPON A BOOK CLUB SELECTION ***

“Murphy keeps the tension high by skillfully alternating chapters told from the points of view of Val, Terry, and Bridget. Their overlapping stories raise tantalizing questions: how are their lives connected, and might there be an evil spirit lurking on the Franklin Hotel’s 13th floor? Readers will eagerly turn the pages to find out.” – Publishers Weekly

“A disturbing but neatly plotted mystery that would be a welcome addition to any public library collection.” – Library Journal

“This book is why the word page-turner was created. You’ll get nothing done until you’ve reached the end of this excellent book!” – Lisa Regan, USA Today and WSJ Bestselling Author of the Detective Josie Quinn Series

“The twists were phenomenal” – @read_betweenthecovers

“…you can’t help but feel goosebumps run up your arms.” – @JerseyGirlBookReviews

“This is one ride you won’t want to miss.” Lisa Wetzel, Partners in Crime Tours
