About This Book
A marriage that once felt like a romance novel begins to curdle in quiet, unsettling ways—and Morgan Murphy is paying close attention. When her charismatic husband Kyle grows distant and secretive, Morgan can't shake the feeling that something is very wrong. A surprise weekend getaway, meant to rekindle their connection, starts to feel less like a gift and more like a trap. Bonnie Traymore's A Little Getaway sits at the intersection of domestic suspense and marital drama, asking how well anyone can truly know the person sleeping beside them—and how dangerous it can be to find out.
Traymore writes with a sharp, propulsive energy that keeps the tension coiled beneath even the quietest scenes. The novel's real strength lies in Morgan's perspective: she's perceptive, a little obsessive, and entirely believable as a woman who refuses to look away. At 296 pages, the story moves efficiently without feeling rushed, layering doubt and revelation in ways that keep readers second-guessing their own conclusions. For fans of twisty, intimate suspense where the threat lives inside the relationship itself, this one delivers.
