About This Book
Johnny Silva is a valet driver with a flexible moral compass and a sideline he'd rather not explain to the police — until two guests at his resort end up dead, and he starts wondering if one of his regular marks is the killer. Set against the glossy, expensive backdrop of Honolulu, The Valet is a domestic thriller that earns its "twisty" label honestly: the closer Johnny gets to the truth, the more he realizes how exposed he already is. The stakes aren't just survival — they're the kind that come from being guilty of something, even if it's not murder.
Traymore writes with a brisk, confident hand, keeping the pages turning through short chapters and a protagonist whose compromised position forces him (and the reader) to second-guess every instinct. The dark humor threaded through the narrative keeps the tension from turning oppressive, and the Honolulu setting — all sun and economic anxiety — gives the story a grittier texture than the resort-glossy premise might suggest. It's the kind of thriller that moves fast but leaves you genuinely unsure who to root for.
