Books like Killer Summer by Lynda Curnyn
A sun‑drenched beach house on Fire Island is the perfect backdrop for best friends Zoe, Sage and Nick to unwind and reconnect. Their relaxed summer of sunset margaritas and late‑night barbecues takes an unexpected turn when the body of their hostess washes up on the shore. The discovery forces each of them to confront hidden anxieties: Zoe questions a husband who celebrates rather than mourns; Nick grapples with unspeakable secrets; and Sage hunts romance as if this could be her last carefree season. What began as a dream vacation becomes a reflection on relationships, mortality and the fragile nature of good times.
