About this listen

Who killed Mercy McAlpine? The next thrilling suspense featuring Will Trent and Sara Linton from Karin Slaughter, no.1 bestselling author of Pieces of Her and After That Night

Everyone here is a liar, but only one of us is a killer...

Welcome to the McAlpine Lodge: a remote 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 ...

I haven’t listened to a Karen Slaughter book for ages and after this one I realised what a disservice I have done to myself.
Her raw, sensitive and sometimes painful to listen to family drama dragged me in boots and laces to the point where I would take the long way home from my grocery shopping just to listen to more chapters despite being turned into an insomniac when listening at night. Not to forget the considerate without going overboard narration really enhanced KS’s story to the end. Can’t wait for more of Will and Sara. 🥺
