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…

Story5 out of 5 stars 15
In the city of Atlanta, young women are dying—at the hands of a killer who signs his work with a single, chilling act of mutilation. Leaving behind enough evidence to fuel a frenzied police hunt, this cunning madman is bringing together dozens of lives, crossing the boundaries of wealth and race. And the people who are chasing him must cross those boundaries too. Among them is Michael Ormewood, a veteran detective whose marriage is hanging by a thread—and whose arrogance and explosive temper are threatening his career.

Leigh Collier has worked hard to build what looks like a normal life. She has a good job as a defense attorney, a daughter doing well in school, and even her divorce is relatively civilized - her life is just as unremarkable as she’d always hoped it would be.

Buckhead isn’t a place you live, it’s a place you survive. And that applies even to the wealthy housewives that have it all. Fancy cars, designer clothes, and daily salon appointments aren’t nearly enough to keep them fulfilled and happy. Because in this town, privilege and opulence go hand in hand with betrayal and revenge. Jenny, the owner of Glow, an exclusive membership-only beauty salon, knows that better than anyone, because she knows everything about these housewives—down to each individual strand of hair.

And the people who are chasing him must cross those boundaries too.

Great Series
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
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
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
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!
