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.
I loved the last book, A Fatal Affair, and became an instant fan. As soon as I read the description for this upcoming release, I got excited.
Description
A loving mother. A notorious murderer. They both have reasons to hide their secrets in a novel of escalating shock and suspense by New York Times bestselling author A. R. Torre.Perla Wultz lives with her husband, Grant, and their precious daughter, Sophie, in a gated Pasadena community. Affluent, sociable, and accomplished, Perla plays the part of loving wife and mother to perfection. It seems an ideal life, if not for a decades-old crime that has become Perla’s dark and consuming secret obsession.
Twenty-three years ago, Leewood Folcrum confessed to murdering two young girls during a birthday party. Though he’s been condemned to a life sentence, his crime is not forgotten. Not by Perla, nor by an inquisitive doctoral student interviewing Folcrum for his dissertation. He’s getting the killer to open up—about his motives, his confession, and the truth of what really happened on that horrible night.
As the past and the present entwine, the deceptions behind the infamous murder begin to surface. But who’s deceiving who now? And why? And as an ingeniously twisted plan is set in motion, who will be the next to die?

Sounds good Jo, too bad it’s four months away before you can listen!
Let’s just hope I can get my hands on it early!
Great pick! I hope that you love it when you get the chance to listen to it Jonetta!
Thanks, Jodie💜 Early reviews are promising!
Hope you enjoy it when it’s out and that you find it’s been worth the wait!
Thanks, Joanne💜
I guess I should take another look at this one. If you like the author, it’s bound to be good.
Her last book was really, really good, Anne💜
This definitely sounds like a good one, here’s hoping you can get the audiobook soon.
Thanks, Carla💜
This sounds good and twisty. Excellent choice!
That’s just what I thought, too💜
I hope you love it, Jo! 📚💕
I can’t wait to read this one either! The only reason I haven’t yet is because I have way too many ARCs that are due before The Last Party is… Fingers crossed they will end up adding an audio ARC soon!
I thought this one was on the way but I was confused😏 I’ll get it come August 😞
That’s a shame about the audio though!
