I'm posting a 'soon to be released' book on Wednesdays. These will always be books that I am particularly looking forward to. I'll be linking up to 'Can't-Wait Wednesday' hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings and plan to take part in this each week.
I read Charlie Donlea's second book, The Girl Who Was Taken, last year and really liked it. I still haven't read Summit Lake, his first, but hopefully one day soon. Did you read either of these? I seem to remember more than one of my blogging friends liking them. So, this week I'm waiting for:
Publication Date: May 29th
The Girl of Sugar Beach is the most watched documentary in television history—a riveting, true-life mystery that unfolds over twelve weeks and centers on a fascinating question: Did Grace Sebold murder her boyfriend, Julian, while on a Spring Break vacation, or is she a victim of circumstance and poor police work? Grace has spent the last ten years in a St. Lucian prison, and reaches out to filmmaker Sidney Ryan in a last, desperate attempt to prove her innocence.
As Sidney begins researching, she uncovers startling evidence, additional suspects, and timeline issues that were all overlooked during the original investigation. Before the series even finishes filming, public outcry leads officials to reopen the case. But as the show surges towards its final episodes, Sidney receives a letter saying that she got it badly, terribly wrong.
Sidney has just convinced the world that Grace is innocent. Now she wonders if she has helped to free a ruthless killer. Delving into Grace’s past, she peels away layer after layer of deception. But as Sidney edges closer to the real heart of the story, she must decide if finding the truth is worth risking her newfound fame, her career . . . even her life.
Looks like a good book, and twisty too!
ReplyDeleteYes, it definitely sounds twisty.
DeleteOh wow, this looks great!! Wonderful pick!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I liked the previous book, so that's a good sign for me with this one.
DeleteI do like the sounds of this! Grace sounds like she is hiding something for sure but what?! Great pick.
ReplyDeleteWhat indeed? ;-)
DeleteI've never heard of this author, but this book sounds really good. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.
ReplyDeleteYou'd like that previous book I think - The Girl Who Was Taken.
DeleteOoh, this sounds so good! Very true-to-life!
ReplyDeleteYes, it sounded good to me for sure.
DeleteI haven't read Donlea's other books, but this does sound like it will be good.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping. You never know, but I'll give it a shot at some point.
DeleteI just recently put this on my to-read list for Goodreads. I read Summit Lake last year and really liked it. What's funny is I'm just now realizing they are by the same author, so thanks for that heads up! :)

Glad to hear that you liked Summit Lake. I'll get to it at some point.
DeleteSounds like a great suspense book. With lots of twists learning the truth. I hope you get a chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteMary my Can’t Wait Wednesday!
That's the plan. LOL
DeleteThis sounds really good. I'll have to check out the first book.
ReplyDeleteI need to read the first book too. This isn't a series, by the way.
DeleteAnother "ripped from the headlines" story. I hope this one is better than The Innocent Wife for you!
ReplyDeleteYes, 'timely'. We'll see, but I'm hopeful.
DeleteSounds great - I love the premise! I'll be looking forward to hearing what you think of it...
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping it is as good as it sounds. We'll see.
DeleteI still think 2018 is the year of the thriller but this might be one I check out. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGlad to add to your TBR, Barb! LOL
DeleteI enjoyed his previous books and I'm definitely looking forward to this book.
ReplyDeleteI remember that you liked them, Melody. Hoping this one is as good.
DeleteI've not read anything from this author before but this does sound fantastic. I love suspenseful reads. I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suzanne! I love suspenseful books as well.
DeleteInteresting sounding plot. Hope you like it!
ReplyDeleteI think I probably will. :-)
DeleteThis is an author I definitely want to read. The books sound so good!
ReplyDeleteI really liked his last one.
DeleteI haven't heard of this book or this author but I need it! This sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteI think it sounds good too. Hopefully, it will be. As I said, I did like the previous book and this is not a series, by the way.
