Geneva is the owner of Rosalie Inn, which has survived many strong hurricanes passing through St. Medards Bay, Alabama, for over a century. When a writer named August contacts Geneva with interest in renting a room while writing a true crime book involving the unsolved murder that occurred there in the ’80s, Geneva is excited that maybe this future book will boost business for her inn. But when August arrives, he has Lo Bailey in tow, the woman accused of murdering her lover. What really happened that night? Did Lo get off scot-free?
Thank you, NetGalley and publisher St. Martin’s Press, for the eARC for review purposes. All opinions expressed here are mine alone. “The Storm” by Rachel Hawkins will be widely available on January 6, 2026.
I really enjoyed “The Storm” due to its twisty love triangle, intricate characters, the unpredictability of a hurricane, some claustrophobic scenes, and the dual timeline that dives deep into piecing together the murder mystery. I especially enjoyed the chapter headings for the past timeline. They are a very creative touch as they follow along with the names of each hurricane that passes by, which is obviously a big theme in this book.
In conclusion, this is a book I’d recommend adding to your reading list in anticipation of its release next year. Happy reading!
