Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday that was hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
Another series on my top ten list (probably in the top 5), Will Trent is one I read almost as soon as it’s released. I’ve known about this for a few weeks but there wasn’t even a description, let alone a cover. I really, really can’t wait for this book
Description
The next thrilling suspense featuring Will Trent and Sara Linton from Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author of Pretty Girls and After That Night!Everyone here is a liar, but only one of us is a killer…
A secluded cabin retreat
For GBI investigator Will Trent and medical examiner Sara Linton, McAlpine Lodge seems like the ideal getaway to celebrate their honeymoon. Set on a gorgeous, off-the-grid mountaintop property, it’s the perfect place to unplug and reconnect. Until a bone-chilling scream cuts through the night.
A murderer in their midst
Mercy McAlpine, the manager of the Lodge, is dead. With a vicious storm raging and the one access road to the property washed out, the murderer must be someone on the mountain. But as Will and Sara investigate the McAlpine family and the other guests, they realize that everyone here is lying….Lying about their past. Lying to their family. Lying to themselves.
Who killed Mercy McAlpine?
It soon becomes clear that normal rules don’t apply at McAlpine Lodge, and Will and Sara are going to have to watch their step at every turn. Trapped on the resort, they must untangle a decades-old web of secrets to discover what happened to Mercy. And with the killer poised to strike again, the trip of a lifetime becomes a race against the clock…

I’ll never understand the publishing world. She’s an American author with her new release coming out first internationally. I sound jealous, don’t I?😏

Maybe she’s more popular here? I don’t know, it makes no sense to me either. I’ll try not to rub it in 😉

I actually stopped reading the series because of her… I couldn’t handle having to deal with her anymore.

I think she was only in one more book. The series is way too good for you to drop it. I keep good notes so can help you out.

I never get approved for her books, so I end up getting them from audible. If it shows up, I will request, but I’m ready if I get declined.
