This book is set in dual time lines, 1982 and 2017, in a small town in New York. Carly's Aunt Viv left home in 1982 and ended up in Fell, New York, then disappeared. After Carly's mom died from cancer in 2017, Carly found an article about her Aunt Viv. Carly needed time away from life to deal with the loss of her mother and decided to go to Fell, NY to search out details of her aunt.
Both Viv and then Carly work as the night clerk at the Sun Down Motel, both trying to solve a mystery. There is a haunted story involving the Sun Down - doors open, there is the smell of fresh cigarette smoke, and then there is the ghost of a woman and one of a little boy. As Carly learns more about her aunt, where she could have gone, what could have happened to her, she learns more about herself as well.

This is a historical fiction ghost story set in more recent years. I stayed up late a few nights just to see what would happen next!
