Shore Lodge by Susan Specht Oram

 

Shore Lodge: A high-stakes psychological thriller (The Millersville series)Shore Lodge: A high-stakes psychological thriller by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a hard book to read....but it was so incredibly well written!!

Jacklyn Stone has recently lost her husband. Of course, she's absolutely heartbroken and things are happening that shouldn't. The bank accounts aren't exactly up to par, she's had a fender bender, misplaced her keys....all these things could be due to grief, or is it something more?

Dusty Stone is a contractor and the son of Jacklyn. He's recently convinced his mom to give him power of attorney over her health and finances. He's concerned that she's really losing it and needs help beyond what he or his sister Rose could provide.

Rose Stone is a hard-working single mother doing everything she can to provide for her son. She's not been the most attentive to her mother but agrees with Dusty's assessment to have their mom go to Shore Lodge for a short period of time to get some rest.

The situations that take place once Jacklyn becomes a resident of Shore Lodge are disturbing at best and horrifying at their worst. I really felt for Jacklyn in her grief and could see through several of these situations and why she reacted the way that she did.

This is my first experience reading a book by Susan Specht Oram but hopefully not my last. I'll be looking for more books as I found this one very intriguing and well written!
