About The Book

A group of wealthy Manhattanites visit an astrology-themed hotel, where simmering resentments and long-held secrets lead to a shocking death in this fresh, twisty, and suspenseful debut that “welcomes an incredible new talent to the world of domestic suspense” (Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author).

Margot needs a minute. She’s been working eighty-hour weeks as a newly minted partner at her law firm. She’s disconnected from her brother, the only family she has left. And she’s still not pregnant after years of trying.

Stars Harbor Astrological Retreat promises rest, relaxation, and wisdom for Margot and her friends. With Instagram-worthy views and nightly astrology readings in an impeccably restored waterfront Victorian house, this resort should be the ultimate getaway.

For Margot’s brother, Adam, it’s the perfect opportunity to invigorate his romantic life and inspire his writing. But his wife, Aimee, hides the darkness of her past with a beautiful social media feed. Their friend, Farah, is a successful doctor who cannot admit that she’s losing control.

Yet no one holds a greater secret than their astrologer host, Rini. She has a plan for her guests, and one of them won’t be leaving Stars Harbor alive.

Deliciously twisty, The Astrology House is “a page-turning story of redemption, secrets, and seeking the answers we need in the space between right and wrong” (Ashley Audrain, New York Times bestselling author).

Raves and Reviews

"A couples group arrives for a weekend getaway at an astrologically themed coastal inn in this full-cast production involving unresolved issues and closely held secrets. As the story is told primarily through the first-person perspectives of Margot (Soneela Nankani), Aimee (Allyson Ryan), Farah (Gilli Messer), Rini (Sura Siu), and Adam (Sean Patrick Hopkins), listeners are pulled in by its emotional depth and strong characterizations. Seemingly unflappable host Rini, embodied by Siu, engages with skeptical and receptive participants as the retreat blurs business and personal agendas. Astrological Cheat Sheets, delivered by narrator Amanda Dolan, give further insights into Margot’s fertility struggles, Aimee’s and Adam’s intimacy disconnect, and Farah’s newfound desires. Well-paced climactic scenes will surprise listeners. Carinn Jade delivers her acknowledgements."
