Such Sheltered Lives: A Novel

“Truly stunning.” —Danielle Valentine, New York Times bestselling author of Delicate Condition For fans of Nine Perfect Strangers and The Midnight Feast, a moody, atmospheric psychological suspense set in the secretive world of celebrity rehab centers, from New York Times bestselling author Alyssa Sheinmel.

Rush’s Recovery promises its wealthy guests the utmost discretion. But when a body is discovered, can the center’s secrets stay buried? Off the coast of New York, tucked among the pristine and secluded beaches of Shelter Island sits Rush’s Recovery, a treatment center where ultra-high-net-worth clients can seek treatment away from prying eyes and paparazzi. The latest guests have just arrived: Lord Edward of Essex, a British aristocrat fighting his black-sheep status and a painful addiction; Amelia Blue Harris, the daughter of a grungy ’90s rock legend struggling with an eating disorder; and Florence Bloom, a pop star trying to lay low after her latest tabloid scandal. All three have been promised the highest standard of care, from daily therapy and a live-in chef, to acupuncture sessions and a personal care manager—available 24/7. Just so long as they stay put in their private cottages and never interact with the other guests. But these self-destructive B-listers didn’t get where they are by following the rules. Edward, Amelia, and Florence are each at Rush’s for reasons all their own—but somewhere between their therapy sessions and cold plunges, will they confront more than their own demons? Celebrities check in to Rush’s to protect their privacy, but a mysterious death will reveal that the darkest secrets lie in the center’s own history.
