When Kerry arrives to start a new job as the caretaker of a remote motel in the Catskills, she’s excited for a fresh start.
But she quickly realises that something is very wrong.
Her room is full of the previous caretaker’s belongings – and it looks like she was trying to leave in a hurry.
And then, Kerry sees it – the trails of blood. The hand reaching out from the snow…
Confused and scared, in the midst of a snowstorm, Kerry goes out to seek help. When the police arrive, though, things go from bad to worse.
Because the body has disappeared. But the killer is still out there…
I devoured this twisty, addictive, feminist take on The Shining. Terrifying and taut, The Woman In Room 13 is equal parts tantalizing mystery, scary snowstorm survival tale, and thoughtful portrait of a complex female friendship speeding toward a cliff. If you love tightly plotted thrillers about women on the edge - read this now
