Aileen Iaccino
Aileen Iaccino grew up around a campfire telling long-winded ghost stories. Since then, she’s honed her storytelling skills by writing young adult mysteries and thrillers. She lives in Los Angeles, California, in a house that is slowly being taken over by house plants. When not writing, she’s watching baseball, reading in her greenhouse, or trying to find a local escape room she hasn’t yet conquered.
The End and Everything After
A girl must solve the cold case murder that happened in her family’s inn before she ends up being the next victim.
Once a charming landmark of a quaint small town, Ashford Inn’s only business now comes from true crime fans obsessed with its dark past. Five years ago, local teen Willow Fremont was found dead in one of the inn’s rooms. Her case has gone cold, but a recent book speculating on the mystery has sparked renewed interest. This ghoulish fascination may be the only thing keeping the lights on, but that doesn’t mean Olive Ashford has to like it.
When a group of true crime podcasters book a stay at the inn to uncover the truth, Olive wants nothing to do with the group’s quest to find the killer, but it soon becomes clear she might not have a choice.
Because Olive is next.
