Book Title: The Eleventh Hour
Author: Kylie Orr
Uncover a taut, twisty psychological drama with The Eleventh Hour, an electrifying debut from talented Australian author Kylie Orr. Perfect for fans of Sally Hepworth, Pip Drysdale, and Adele Parks, this gripping novel explores the devastating power of lies, secrets, and choices.
New mother Gracie Michaels is desperate for a break. Exhausted and overwhelmed, she books a night at The Maxwell Hotel, hoping for nothing more than sleep and solitude. Instead, she wakes in a strange room after an encounter with a man who is not her husband—and witnesses something that changes everything.
What follows is a heart-pounding descent into a labyrinth of crime and deception. As police investigations intensify and a grieving family begs for answers, Gracie faces an impossible decision. Speaking out could shatter her marriage, but staying silent risks her sanity, safety, and her son’s future.
Darkly compelling and packed with shocking twists, The Eleventh Hour is an unflinching look at the price of truth and the lengths we go to protect those we love.

Will one mother's lie cost another woman her life?
Sleep deprived, struggling and at breaking point, first-time mum Gracie Michaels books one night - alone - at The Maxwell Hotel. A king-size bed all to herself. No demands. With time to recharge she'll be able to return to her family more like the unflappable mother she pretends to be.
Instead, she wakes in a room she doesn't recognise after an encounter with a man who is not her husband. Then she sees something she wishes she hadn't.
Being drawn into a crime was not something Gracie had planned for her hotel stay but when a distraught family appeals for information and a police investigation heats up she is trapped in a maze of lies.
To speak out jeopardises her marriage, but her silence threatens her son, her sanity and her safety. Will Gracie destroy her own family by telling the truth or devastate someone else's by keeping her secrets?
'A suspenseful, dark story that drew me in from the first page. The Eleventh Floor is shockingly unexpected with outcomes that feel completely realistic, alongside powerful moments of motherhood, marriage, trust and love, and a seeping sense of dread that will leave you shuddering.' - Jo Dixon, Australian bestselling author of The House of Now and Then
