I almost gave up on this book in the first 30%
But I'm happy I stuck to it.

I'm a big slaughter fan, in fact I re-read the entire Grant County and Will Trent series before I picked up this one. So there wasn't a year gap of me trying to patiently wait for the next book. And I think that makes a difference.
I was in this Slaughter flow and this book just wasn't what I expected to be next in the flow

Enchanted_Bibliophile It did however turned out brilliantly as all Slaughter's work does. My problem was that I just couldn't care less about Mercy and the McAlpine family. I still don't really do, and that's weird, because Slaughter usually makes me care even when I don't feel like it.

I am however very happy with all my other favourite characters showing up and growing into more lovable people all around.
I'm curious to see where Slaughter will take us next year

Listening to tagged book and enjoying some Christmas ambiance before work this morning. Anyone know if there‘s a #holidaycardswap this year? I signed up for a lovely winter themed one, but I really enjoyed the Christmas one I did last year. Litsy is my cozy holiday home.

PuddleJumper @LitsyEvents is keeping track of things happening. I think that's a winter card swap 1mo

As usual, I devoured this book. It‘s a heartbreaking read. Slaughter is a gifted thriller writer and this latest installment in the Will Trent series is just as compulsively readable, horrifying, and gut-wrenching as the others. Faith‘s description of the case is perfect, but potentially spoiler-y, so I‘ll put it in the comments under a spoiler tag.

This is the 12th book in the Will Trent series, which is a sequel to the 6 books in the Grant County series. I have read most of them and they are all really very good. They are dark, often graphic, but filled with great characters. This one involves a majorly dysfunctional family that run a resort where Will and Sara are staying. Naturally there is a murder. Thank you to Edelweiss+ for the digital ARC. I could not put it down. 4.5/5 stars!

Another great book in the Will Trent series. Will and Sara are on their honeymoon at a vacation lodge in North Georgia. On the first night, they hear a blood curdling scream for help. They discover the manager of the lodge who‘s been stabbed multiple times. She gives Will a message for her son before she passes. This is another book where I figured out who the killer was very early in the book. #SeriesLove2024 @TheSpineView @Andrew65

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

THIS IS WHY WE LIED by Karin Slaughter…..I raced through this extremely amazing read. Loved it, absolutely unputdownable. Will Trent is a great series that will keep readers invested from the very first book.

CoverToCoverGirl I‘m waiting for my audio from the library to come in.. can‘t wait for your review. 3mo
GinaKButler @CoverToCoverGirl I love this series! This one is Agatha Christie meets VC Andrews, investigated by Will, Sara, Faith and Amanda. The buzzword seems to be “incel”….I admit I had to look that one up! 3mo

So Will & Sara‘s vacation was about as relaxing as you would expect. A tormentor from Will‘s past resurfaces in this locked room mystery of sorts at a remote lodge.
This was amazing, sick & twisted. I‘ve thought her writing has skewed a bit “younger” since Pieces of Her, but this as broody & dark as the prior Will Trents. Loved it.

Wow what a ride this was. You just don't know who did what until the end. I think I figured it out just before Will did and what a genius twist that was. This is the newest installment in the series and definitely one of the best ones. I was hooked from the start. Plus I'm a sucker for the relationship between Will and Sara. I love how healthy and sweet it is in this one. They have some great moments and brilliant lines together. 5* #Netgalley

More Will, Sara, Faith and Amanda!
A twisty, dark thriller with some horrible themes, murders and people. Expect the usual and then even darker.
Loved it.

ShyBookOwl Is this the kind of series u can jump into at any point, or do u need to start at book 1? I'm overwhelmed by how many there are, but I've run out of other Slaughter books lol 6mo
5feet.of.fury It‘s always out so much earlier in UK 😭😩 6mo
5feet.of.fury @ShyBookOwl I know some people who jumped in at the Last Widow, but Grant County series & Will Trent series are soo so good it‘s worth to go from the beginning, but if you wanted to start at a recent one it‘s totally doable 6mo
LeahBergen It looks like you all had a great day! 🥰 6mo
TrishB @ShyBookOwl @5feet.of.fury I would always start at the beginning! 6mo
TrishB @Bookwomble that one was the reason for our trip! 6mo
