The Storm by Rachel Hawkins
Pub. Date: January 6, 2026
Goodreads says, "St. Medard’s Bay, Alabama is famous for three the deadly hurricanes that regularly sweep into town, the Rosalie Inn, a century-old hotel that’s survived every one of those storms, and Lo Bailey, the local girl infamously accused of the murder of her lover, political scion Landon Fitzroy, during Hurricane Marie in 1984.
When Geneva Corliss, the current owner of the Rosalie Inn, hears a writer is coming to town to research the crime that put St. Medard’s Bay on the map, she’s less interested in solving a whodunnit than in how a successful true crime book might help the struggling inn’s bottom line. But to her surprise, August Fletcher doesn’t come to St. Medard’s Bay alone. With him is none other than Lo Bailey herself. Lo says she’s returned to her hometown to clear her name once and for all, but the closer Geneva gets to both Lo and August, the more she wonders if Lo is actually back to settle old scores.
As the summer heats up and another monster storm begins twisting its way towards St. Medard’s Bay, Geneva learns that some people can be just as destructive—and as deadly—as any hurricane, and that the truth of what happened to Landon Fitzroy may not be the only secret Lo is keeping…"
I really enjoyed The Heiress, The Villa, The Wife Upstairs, and Reckless Girls, so I am excited to check out Hawkins's latest thriller set at a Gulf Coast beach motel. What do you all think? Will you be adding The Storm to your TBR list?
I've fallen behind on her books, but this one also sounds really good!
