About this audiobook

"An unputdownable and gripping thriller with nonstop twists and turns!" —Freida McFadden, New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid

The next riveting summer suspense by the bestselling author of THE BLOCK PARTY, Jamie Day.

Could this reunion be the death of them?

The Precipice is a legendary, family-owned hotel on the rocky coast of Maine. With the recent passing of their father, the Bishop sisters—Iris, Vicki, and Faith—have come for the weekend to claim it. But with a hurricane looming and each of the Bishop sisters harboring dangerous secrets, there's murder in the air—and not everyone who checks into the Precipice will be checking out.

Each sister wants what is rightfully hers, and in the mix is the Precipe's nineteen-year-old chambermaid Charley Kelley: smart, resilient, older than her years, and in desperate straits.

The arrival of the Bishop sisters could spell disaster for Charley. Will they close the hotel? Fire her? Discover her habit of pilfering from guests? Or even worse, learn that she's using a guest room to hide a woman on the run.

With razor-sharp wit, heart, thrills, and twists, Jamie Day's ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY delivers a unique brand of summertime suspense.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

4.5 stars. I listened to the audio version of this book narrated by Saskia Maarleveld. She did a fantastic job with the narration. Her voice is easy to listen to and she kept me interested in the story. I really got into this story. The fact that it takes place during a huge storm that isolates all the people at the hotel with the lights going on and off really pulled me into the story. I felt like the atmosphere around me was going to be stormy whenever I quit reading. Charley was a great character. She had the responsibility of paying the bill for her grandmother in a nursing home. She was a interesting person. She wasn't so holier than thou that she was above stealing a little bit of cash from people staying at the hotel when she cleaned their rooms. She really did need the money for her grandmother. She was also very compassionate. In the story, the less than honorable owner of the hotel has died. His three daughters meet the lawyer at the hotel for the reading of the will. Things go a little sideways and there is sooo much tension between all of the characters...and lots of revelations coming to light. Thanks to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for this audiobook. All thoughts are my own.

About the author

JAMIE DAY lives in one of those picture-perfect, coastal New England towns you see in the movies. And just like the movies, Jamie has two children and an adorable dog to fawn over. When not writing or reading, Jamie enjoys yoga, the ocean, cooking, and long walks on the beach with the dog, or the kids, or sometimes both.
