About this listen

WATCH WILL TRENT ON ABC!

“Expect from a Karin Slaughter crime thriller . . . just the right amount of twists, turns, shocks, surprises and domestic thrill and shrill.”Parade

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!

One toxic family.

Eight suspicious guests.

Everyone is guilty.

But who is a killer?

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…

This is one of the best Will Trent novels . Absolutely could not put down, a lot of twists and turns and maybe a roller coaster to boot.
I have read all of her books but my favorite are the Will Trent and Sarah Linton books. Can’t wait until the next one . Highly recommend if you like a good fast paced and unpredictable story line

Love me some Will Trent

Great Series

Another winner! On my toes the whole time and then with a twist of a knife I'm baffled. Kathleen can't ever go anywhere when it comes to the next Will Trent novel. It just wouldn't be right.

Well, shit.

OMG! From start to finish this book is amazing. Waiting all year for a Karin Slaughter book is torture, but always worth it in the end! Her writing style, story telling ability along with excellent narration by Kathleen Early is sublime!
Will and Sarah’s story has been intriguing from the start and this book continues with the thrills, suspense and tension I’ve come to expect from Slaughter’s books. She never holds back and makes us confront harsh and painful realities in this world. If you’re looking for fluff you won’t find it in a Karin Slaughter book. What you will find is raw, heart wrenching stories mixed with a bit of romance and even some humor to help lighten up just a bit before she drags you back under and has you sitting at the edge of your seat, listening to the wee hours of the morning!
I have listened to every single one and after finishing this one way too quickly, I may have to go back and listen to her catalog. Brava!! 10 stars if I could.

So freaking good!

From start to finish, just couldn't stop listening! Loved every minute, from the unique story line and intricate character building, from crimes of the heart to crimes of abuse and neglect... I didn't want it to end!

Fascinating!

talk about storyline and character development!! the narrator was brilliant! this is a MUST listen or read! while I love the entire Trent series this is by far, for me, the best one in the series!! can be a great stand alone book to get to know the Will Trent series or even a stand alone. Don't miss this one!! thriller and police procedural livers will LOVE this one.

wow!!

I love the way this author writes, and the narrator has such unique voices for each of the characters that you can visualize them as you listen. This was just another great story where if you’re paying attention, you can kind of see where it’s going but very suspenseful and I can’t wait for the next novel.

The great writing and narrating

I’ve enjoyed Karin Slaughter’s stories for as long as she has been writing them, but I have to say that this latest one is my absolutely favourite. The writing is so nimble and full of visions for my brain. I felt I was on the McAlpine mountain or at least in the theater watching the twists and turns. The characters were all vivid and perhaps it is because I feel like I know Sara and Will it was also fascinating to see how they are progressing in life of solving crimes. And crimes they were, with some parts uncomfortable because of their inhumanity. I’m glad this is just a story but I also know any one of the characters are out there but hopefully not all on the same mountain. I love the narrator too, she performed all the emotions and scenes with believable heart.

Spectacular Story - not for the queasy

I think this is one of the best in the series. I thought I had this figured but I did not.
