Because sometimes the truth is the scariest story of them all....

The Storyteller, the newest novel from author PC Marotta, is a psychological thriller about a vacation turned deadly. Three couples, plenty of motives, and one murderer. But who among them could be capable of such a horrendous act?

Since rooming together in college, Teresa Collins and Asteria Jameson promised each other to vacation somewhere fun every year. They kept that promise. It was always just the two of them, a fun place, free-flowing drinks, and Asti's riveting stories, but this year was different—they were joined by their spouses, Tyler Reedy and Billy Monroe, along with a surprise couple, Brian DeAngelo and Carly Andrews. This year everything changed.

Carly Andrews was Tyler's ex-lover and Billy's ex-fiancée. Teresa and Tyler's marriage of 18 years has been a roller coaster ride, now with Teresa wondering if it's reaching its breaking point as she and Tyler try to cope with their son being in rehab for drug and alcohol abuse.

Asteria (Asti) comes from wealth and privilege. A veterinarian with her own clinic, she is also the daughter of John Jamison, a prominent lawyer whose clients have money and power. Asti is also married to Tyler Reedy's best friend, Billy Monroe, the party boy who never grew up.

This year, Asti booked a beautiful beachfront home in South Carolina on Pawley's Island. Tension is already in the air from the first day with the surprise of Carly and Brian joining them. Secrets are revealed, and the alcohol is flowing freely. Then tragedy strikes. It's assumed it was a horrible accident, but then it quickly becomes clear that there's something more sinister at play.

Over the course of this deeply chilling novel, the potential motives of each person are revealed—until the shocking conclusion is reached.
