Summary
Nominated for a 34th annual Lambda Literary Award • A scintillating thriller with an emotional punch: “The tension builds to unbearably claustrophobic levels. To say more would rob readers of the 'no, he didn’t' suspense that makes Bath Haus an unexpectedly twisted, heart-pounding cat-versus-mouse thriller" (Los Angeles Times).
Oliver Park, a recovering addict from Indiana, finally has everything he ever wanted: sobriety and a loving, wealthy partner in Nathan, a prominent DC trauma surgeon. Despite their difference in age and disparate backgrounds, they've made a perfect life together. With everything to lose, Oliver shouldn't be visiting Haus, a gay bathhouse. But through the entrance he goes, and it's a line crossed. Inside, he follows a man into a private room, and it's the final line. Whatever happens next, Nathan can never know. But then, everything goes wrong, terribly wrong, and Oliver barely escapes with his life.
He races home in full-blown terror as the hand-shaped bruise grows dark on his neck. The truth will destroy Nathan and everything they have together, so Oliver does the thing he used to do so well: he lies.
What follows is a classic runaway-train narrative, full of the exquisite escalations, edge-of-your-seat thrills, and oh-my-god twists. P. J. Vernon's Bath Haus is perfect for listeners curious for their next must-listen novel.

Loved this audible story and performance
I think this would still be a great book to read but it really came alive in audible format due to the fantastic narration of both Michael Crouch and Daniel Henning.
Loved the story and my nerves were on edge during certain chapters. The story built up well and the baddie was a great character.
The author deserves praise and I will check out other titles but i might pick my next book by narrator.

Fear and Loathing in Washington, D.C.
This is a raw, sweaty, nervy and paranoid thriller that excites and terrifies in equal measure. Anyone who has ever fantasised (which is just about 100% of the human race) will be able to identify with this and feel the vicarious acid burn as it all goes south for poor Oliver. This is a thriller to enjoy and endure at the same time. The ending is extraordinarily well crafted with elements of pure terror and shocking farce interlaced with class, money, jealousy, control, sex and love seen through the prism of alcohol, drugs and violence.

Excellent from start to finish
I’ve never left a review before. I really enjoyed this book. The narration was excellent and the storyline gripped me. It’s about homosexuality so may deter some people but it’s well worth a read

Very good!
Although slightly frustrating at times, spiraling events getting further into confusion. It was well delivered.

Oliver, yes. Nathan, nah.
I really enjoyed the narrator for Oliver but found Nathan’s very monotone and also fake sounding.
