THE ASTROLOGY HOUSE

Carinn Jade

For fans of Lucy Foley and Liane Moriarty, this is a debut of fresh, twisty domestic suspense that follows a cast of characters who arrive at an astrology-themed hotel for a weekend getaway, where past resentments and disturbing secrets come to light and one of them will not leave alive.

For a group of wealthy Manhattanites, it was supposed to be the perfect weekend away. No work, no kids, nothing but old friends, and two days at the hottest new boutique hotel on the coastthe ridiculously Instagrammable, astrologically-themed Stars Harbor. What could go wrong?

For Margot, the weekend is a distractiona shiny, tarot-card-shaped diversion from her inability to conceive a child, and her tenuous relationship with the only family she has left. For her brother, Adam, and his wife, Aimee, Stars Harbor is the perfect opportunity to rekindle their rapidly cooling relationship. Adam is a bestselling romance writer, after all, recreating the spark should be easy. Especially when his wife is willing to do whatever it takes to save their marriage. Meanwhile, for Aimee's friend, Farah, the getaway is confirmation of something she's long suspected - that she's in love with a married member of the group.

Behind it all? Rini, the mysterious hotel owner with a shadowy past. As Rini's nightly astrological readings turn from kitschy fun to uncomfortably -even dangerously- accurate, the guests' buried impulses begin to burst to the surface. But The Astrologer isn't leaving fate in the hands of the Universe. She has a plan for each of her guests, and one of them won't be leaving alive...

Carinn Jade is a lawyer, writer, and co-host of the Pop Fiction Women podcast. Her essays have been published in The New York Times, DailyWorth, and Mommyish. The Astrology House is her first novel.
