Description

"This tale of seduction, obsession, and murder will resonate with fans of Patricia Highsmith. The pace is fast, the prose is smooth, and the plot genuinely twisty."

"She felt no remorse for drawing blood. In the context of their relationship, it had its place." 

For Max and Laurel, nothing is off limits when they meet in room 553. Their illicit affair is exhilarating, passionate—and dangerous. 

Driven as much by compulsion as pleasure, Max can't stop. His mistress is Jesus on the streets, and Satan in the sack. But when things take a sharp and sudden turn for the worse, he finds himself ensnared in a trap of his own making. 

Under heavy scrutiny by the police and the media, Max is hailed as a cold and evasive womanizer. He made mistakes, to be sure. But does that make him a killer?

Unnerving and addictive, Room 553 is a vivid and sensual, psychological thriller that weaves a story of cruelty, reckless desire, and blind, bloody justice.

    I don’t think I will ever tire of reading a psychological thriller by Britney King. I always enjoy the way she starts her books, especially this one with its Forward. Overall I enjoyed this story. These characters and the story line were intense. I am excited to see what Mrs. King comes up with next When I was reading this book I was thinking how would King throw a twist in this story, what areas of this story do I need to take more notes, thinking that maybe I could decipher how this story would end before I got to that part. Yes I was able to figure out 1 piece of the puzzle, but I literally was not able to see the full picture till it was all laid before me. Well Mrs. King, well done.
  • Quick read with great twists
