Summary

The incredible new thriller featuring Will Trent and Sara Linton from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author!

One toxic family. Eight suspicious guests. Everyone is guilty. But who is a killer?

Welcome to the McAlpine Lodge: a secluded mountain getaway, it’s the height of escapist luxury living.

Except that everyone here is lying. Lying about their past. Lying to their family. Lying to themselves.

Then one night, Mercy McAlpine – until now the good daughter – threatens to expose everybody's secrets. Just hours later, Mercy is dead.

In an area this remote, it’s easy to get away with murder. But Will Trent and Sara Linton – investigator and medical examiner for the GBI – are here on their honeymoon.

And now, with the killer poised to strike again, the holiday of a lifetime becomes a race against the clock…

Fantastic!

Great story… but the narrator was brilliant. She bought every character to life. Some scenes were so sad and gripping I had to stop what I was doing and just listen.

Will and Sara are in wrong place at wrong time

If, like me, you are a Will Trent/ Sara Linton fan you will love this book.
It adds a little on the insight we have already had of Will’s early years, but mainly it builds on the loving relationship between them.
Of course there is a murder or two to be solved and a number of plot twists. Amanda and Faith also show up - but in supporting roles

Agatha meets Karin

I just loved this book. Agatha Christie meets Karin Slaughter. A sensitive and sad tale of violence against women told in a modern Christiesk manor. I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns in the plot, which may not lead to everyone’s expected ending. Will read again soon.

Another Blinder from Ms. Slaughter

Fantastic locked room mystery. Unfortunately I had the killer pegged from the get go, but it didn't detract from the incredible story. Great performance and excellent further character development of the main crew.
