Synopsis

"Roils with passion, rancor, and greed wrapped in Southern politesse... King's intricately woven mystery is sure to please fans of the thriller and suspense genre far and wide."
Jester Falls has always been an idyllic town. Perfect for a getaway. And what better place to stay than Magnolia House, the tourist trap's most popular bed and breakfast, run by the eccentric Channing family.
Ruth Channing loves her family—at least what's left of it. She'd do anything to protect them.
But it isn't until her brother picks up a mysterious woman on the side of Route 78 that Ruth realizes how many definitions the word anything can have.
Everything about Ashley Parker rings false: her past, her profession, even her name. Most worryingly of all, her reluctance to leave. When guests start disappearing, it's clear there's more at stake than just the family business… a lot more.

About Britney King

Britney King writes psychological, domestic, and romantic thrillers set in suburbia. She is currently writing three series and several stand-alone novels.

The Bedrock series features an unlikely heroine who should have known better. Turns out, she didn't. Thus she finds herself tangled in a messy, dangerous, forbidden love story and face-to-face with a madman hell-bent on revenge. The series has been compared to Fatal Attraction, Single White Female, and Basic Instinct.

The Water series follows the shady love story of an unconventional married couple-he's an assassin-she kills for fun. It has been compared to a crazier book version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Also, Dexter.

Around the Bend is a heart-pounding stand-alone, which traces the journey of a well-to-do suburban housewife, and her life as it unravels, thanks to the secrets she keeps. If she were the only one with things she wanted to keep hidden, then maybe it wouldn't have turned out so bad. But she wasn't.

The With You series at its core is a deep love story about unlikely friends who travel the world; trying to find themselves, together and apart. Packed with drama and adventure along with a heavy dose of suspense, it has been compared to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Love, Rosie.

The Social Affair is an intense stand-alone about a timeless couple who find themselves with a secret admirer they hadn't bargained for. For fans of the anti-heroine and stories told in unorthodox ways, the novel explores what can happen when privacy is traded for convenience. It is reminiscent of films such as One Hour Photo and Play Misty For Me. Classics.

Britney lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband, children, two dogs, one ridiculous cat, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Goodreads review by Christina

I read a LOT of thrillers and I listen to as many as I can. Passerby was my first book by Britney King and it won’t be my last. She has a dark, snarky, funny voice and a knack for creating memorable characters. The plot did lose me at times. For me the conceit of the “passerby” narrator did not real......more

Goodreads review by Nicole

I really liked this audiobook and the main reason is the narrator. She was funny and on point. She made the story so enjoyable. The book itself was good and kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was gonna happen next. It was also pretty short which was a nice change. I have never heard of th......more

Goodreads review by Mandy

Britney King once again has smashed it out of the park. I challenge anybody to pick up one of her books and not be completely addicted. Every single one of her books that I have read has shocked me and kept me up well past my bedtime. Her new book, Passerby is another dark and twisty tale that you d......more

Goodreads review by Julie (JuJu)

Nothing causes trouble in a family faster than the addition of a new member…especially when that new member is a woman! The Channing siblings own Magnolia House, a beautiful bed and breakfast that the sister—Ruth—runs. Her brother brings home a mysterious woman and turns everything upside down. This......more

Goodreads review by DJ

Favorite Quote: There are three things you should always keep a secret: your love life, your income, and your next move. Once you lose your mystery, you can’t get it back. As the saying goes, sincerity is glass, discretion is diamond. My Review: I continue with my fascination with the intriguing and ma......more
