Waiting on Wednesday - Missing Pieces



This is a weekly event that highlights a book we can't wait to be published.  It is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

I have meant to read several books by Heather Gudenkauf over the years.  And I think I probably own all she's written up to this point.  So, naturally I want to read her upcoming release.  This week my Waiting on Wednesday pick is:




Publication Date:  February 2nd

Sarah Quinlan's husband, Jack, has been haunted for decades by the untimely death of his mother when he was just a teenager, her body found in the cellar of their family farm, the circumstances a mystery.  The case rocked the small farm town of Penny Gate, Iowa, where Jack was raised, and for years Jack avoided returning home.  But when his beloved aunt Julia is in an accident, hospitalized in a coma, Jack and Sarah are forced to confront the past that they have long evaded.

Upon arriving in Penny Gate, Sarah and Jack are welcomed by the family Jack left behind all those years ago—barely a trace of the wounds that had once devastated them all.  But as facts about Julia's accident begin to surface, Sarah realizes that nothing about the Quinlans is what it seems.  Caught in a flurry of unanswered questions, Sarah dives deep into the puzzling rabbit hole of Jack's past.  But the farther in she climbs, the harder it is for her to get out.  And soon she is faced with a deadly truth she may not be prepared for.

  7. I grabbed this one from NetGalley, but haven't had a chance to read it yet - eep! I plan to, in February. It sounds so good!

    I see over there on your sidebar that you're listening to IN THE BLOOD. I listened to it too, and I thought it was super fantastic-ly wonderful-ly good. Ha! Can you tell I liked it?

    1. Yes, it is very, very good. I read IN THE BLOOD before, but decided to listen to it. I'm gradually listening to the loosely connected Hollows series that Lisa Unger writes. I had read the first book and this one, but I'm filling in the ones around them. I love Unger's books.

  10. I haven't read anything by her, but it seems that everyone loves her books, doesn't it? I'll have to look for a book by her. Thanks for liking all my silly stories, as I count down my cookbook.
