I read this book around 2015-2018 and for a long time I thought the title was "The woman in cabin 10" but it is NOT the book by Ruth Ware. It may have a similar title -- or have "girl" or "woman" in the title (like so many books now!). I think it's set in the south -- maybe North Carolina.
The woman runs away from an abusive relationship and creates a new identity in a small town, staying in a cabin/motel, working a job that pays cash, etc. SPOILER: Her husband/boyfriend hires someone to look for her. This man looking for her begins to suspect the woman is hiding for a reason, and is conflicted about what to do. It may have parallel narratives of the woman and the man looking for her. Thanks in advance!

Found it! It's Sunburn by Laura Lippman. I had confused the title of this book with another book of hers called Lady in the Lake which has a very different plot.
Thanks!
