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…

Another Great Story

Story very engaging. Many twists and turn. I always fall in love with the characters and this author evokes emotions effortlessly. My only negative was Amanda's voice - horrendous!

Emotional roller coaster

It's been a few years since I'd last read a Karin Slaughter and I'd forgotten how much I love her novels! This one was just a gut punch. Initially the narrator's accent was not quite what I expected but it turned out to be perfect. Can't wait to catch up on what used to be and has become again, my favourite author

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.

Suspenseful tale.

Loved the story, more inciteful writing from Karin with a few Red Herrings throughout. I did get the whodunnit till the end.

Will Trent books just get better and better. Lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing. Kathleen Early's narration is excellent as always.

Absolutely fantastic

Will and Sarah perfection. Brilliant book. As usual it is filled with twists and unexpected surprises. Think locked door mystery but on a mountain. I can’t wait for the next Trent book.
