Publisher's Summary

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…

Keeps you guessing in suspense!

Damn, Slaughter, you did it again! Another amazing novel. From beginning to end, this book has you on the edge of your seat. You always add just a bit of humor in there at the perfect time. Favourite line: "Shut your mouth when you're talking to me!" - Faith Mitchell.
Can't get enough of this series!

Kathleen Early, you perform each character so beautifully! The rawness you give them.... it gives me literal chills and brought me to tears. I love listening to these books mostly because you do such a fantastic job!

Amazing, amazing, amazing!

overall - enjoyed! expect the usual gruesome details by Karin Slaughter. along with humour - 'going to watch that show with the detective and his dog on hulu' (or something along that line) lol
i guessed from the beginning... but was lead in different directions with a couple twists...
the narration by Kathleen Early was amazing as usual.

Great storyline

Karin Slaughter done it again. I love this new Will Trent book. The twists and turns, the depth of deprivation of some characters and Kathleen Early’s recitation is wonderful. It had me enthralled until the end.

A great Slaughter twist.

My favorite author and narrator do it again. Love all of her books and this one does not disappoint. Wish there were 10 more a year.

Interesting, but somewhat predictable

I think I’ve read a lot of books with so many unexpected twists that this book fell a little flat in terms of twists. Nevertheless, it’s a good read

Such a twisty path to an explosive surprise ending!

The details, the number of possibilities and the winding roads taken in this book are outstanding. The ending is not even a blip on the radar till it hits you full force. Absolutely stunning book!

Icky - all of it

I used to love Karin Slaughter’s books but the characters and story lines are just getting gross. Incest, rape, child murderers. The last 3 books were just ick and this one was the worst. It made my stomach lurch. Save your money and time.
