"An unputdownable and gripping thriller with nonstop twists and turns!" —Freida McFadden, New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid
The next riveting summer suspense by the bestselling author of THE BLOCK PARTY, Jamie Day.
Could this reunion be the death of them?
The Precipice is a legendary, family-owned hotel on the rocky coast of Maine. With the recent passing of their father, the Bishop sisters—Iris, Vicki, and Faith—have come for the weekend to claim it. But with a hurricane looming and each of the Bishop sisters harboring dangerous secrets, there's murder in the air— and not everyone who checks into the Precipice will be checking out.
Each sister wants what is rightfully hers, and in the mix is the Precipe's nineteen-year-old chambermaid Charley Kelley: smart, resilient, older than her years, and in desperate straits.
The arrival of the Bishop sisters could spell disaster for Charley. Will they close the hotel? Fire her? Discover her habit of pilfering from guests? Or even worse, learn that she's using a guest room to hide a woman on the run.
With razor-sharp wit, heart, thrills, and twists, Jamie Day's ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY delivers a unique brand of summertime suspense.

      The follow-up to Day's buzzy debut, The Block Party, gets a 150K-copy first printing. Family dynamics, a woman on the run, and a chambermaid who needs to keep her job--no matter what--are on the guest register of the Precipice Hotel, set on the rocky coast of Maine. There is a hurricane approaching, which is probably the least of the dangers. Prepub Alert.

      Day's sophomore novel (after The Block Party, 2023) is an Agatha Christie-style locked-room mystery filled with family drama and shocking secrets. When the quirky owner of a family-owned hotel on a cliff in Maine passes away, his three daughters assemble for the reading of his will. Who will inherit The Precipice Hotel and the family fortune? When someone is found dead, and a raging hurricane ensues, the guests become trapped inside the hotel--with a murderer. Told in dual timelines through multiple viewpoints, this atmospheric mystery is full of unlikeable characters and family dysfunction. Day entertains readers through her development of eccentric characters and exploration of the themes of betrayal, love, money, and mistaken identity. The eerie setting builds tension toward the impending doom, and the twists keep readers guessing until the very end. Recommended for readers of Ruth Ware, Lucy Foley, and Shari LaPena, this addictive whodunnit is a must-read summer suspense thriller.
