A young couple’s dream apartment hides a deadly secret in a terrifying novel of psychological suspense by the authors of Gravewater Lake.

Jordan and her fiancé, Sam, can hardly believe their luck when they are accepted into the Glendale, an exclusive Boston co-op dripping in historic turn-of-the-century splendor. Still reeling from a devastating personal loss, the couple hopes their new digs will let them heal the past and build a brighter future. But Jordan’s joy soon turns to unease.

Spending long hours alone while her fiancé is at work, she starts to suspect that all is not right with the Glendale. There is the empty apartment on the ground floor that nobody wants to talk about, and the unnerving sensation that she is being watched. The haunting cries of a baby—even though there are none in the building—don’t help, either.

As their relationship falters and Sam grows ever more distant, Jordan comes to a terrifying conclusion. The Glendale won’t let her go…at least, not alive.

Critic reviews

“Strong and Sargent’s A Place to Die For drips with dread and delivers chills on every page. This is a beautifully sinister twisted tale of love, loss, and a building that refuses to give up its secrets—claustrophobic, haunting, and absolutely unputdownable.”—Kaira Rouda, USA Today bestselling author of We Were Never Friends

“A Place to Die For is a fast-paced, twist-filled psychological thriller that will keep you reading way past bedtime and leave you breathless until the final page. Sonya Sargent and A.M. Strong once again prove themselves masters of the genre. This book is brilliantly crafted, relentlessly suspenseful, and impossible to put down.”—Elise Hart Kipness, USA Today bestselling author

“A.M. Strong and Sonya Sargent masterfully turn the screws with elegant menace, transforming domestic bliss into a locked-door nightmare. Atmospheric, addictive, and deadly smart, this is a one-sitting read that will keep you turning pages into the small hours.”—Daco S. Auffenorde, award-winning writer, and author of The Medici Curse

This audiobook had me hooked from the very beginning and it had a very intriguing premise! I don’t know why, but I was suspicious of Sam very early on. Something about him just didn’t sit right, and that constant feeling of “can he be trusted” added a layer of tension. The suspense of wondering whether he was a good guy or a bad guy truly kept me guessing until the end.

Jordan’s storyline had me stressed in the best way. It was so obvious that she was being gaslit, how deep it went & who was truly responsible was the real question. The mysterious him chapters had me wondering who this could possibly be & each time these chapters came up, it pulled me even deeper into the story.

When everything finally came to light, I was speechless as the motive ran way deeper than I ever could have imagined. Just when I thought I had it figured out, the story took another turn.

The narration in the audiobook was great, both narrators did an amazing job bringing life to these characters.

Overall, a solid read and great for fans of psychological thrillers filled with gaslighting, unreliable characters, and wth reveals.

Will definitely be reading more from this author!

UNPUTDOWNABLE book with high-level suspense, especially in the "Him" chapters. Jordan and Sam are engaged and live on a roller coaster of emotions as they work to build a family and home for themselves. However, there's something more sinister at play, thwarting their efforts.

Jordan, having previously gone through a period of depression, is easily disarmed by the unsettling events taking place in their new, too-good-to-be-true home, which only she seems to be witnessing. This leaves Sam to wonder if maybe Jordan is relapsing into depression again. After the toll her depression played the first time, Sam worries their relationship won't survive a second time. Then, again, maybe he's in on the weird happenings taking place, because how else could the other residents know about her past struggles?

Who, really, can Jordan trust?

Get yourself a nice, comfortable spot for this one!

Think title says it all. Just a lame murder mystery story. I pushed through to the who done it and it was by them so unrealistic I couldn’t even get myself to finish the final chapters.

Dumb
