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.
The book I'm sharing this week is by an author that I've had on my TBR for a long time. And I've still not read any of her books. Why is that? She's won two Edgar awards! Hoping this one is the one that will change that. This week, I'm waiting on:
by Lori Roy
Publication Date: July 17th
Ostracized by the people she was taught to trust, Lane's unsteady truce with the town is rattled when her older daughter suddenly vanishes. Ten days earlier, a college student went missing, and the two disappearances at first ignite fears that a serial killer who once preyed upon the town has returned. But when Lane's younger daughter admits to having made a new and unseemly friend, a desperate Lane attacks her hometown's façade to discover whether her daughter's disappearance is payback for her father's crimes--or for her own.
With reporters descending upon the town, police combing through the swamp, and events taking increasingly disturbing turns, Lane fears she faces too many enemies and too little time to bring her daughter safely home. Powerful and heart-pounding, The Disappearing questions the endurance of family bonds, the dangers of dark rumors and small town gossip, and how sometimes home is the scariest place of all.
Ooh this does sound good particularly as I'm partial to small town settings.
ReplyDeleteI am too and so this seems like one I'd like.
DeleteI really like the setting of this one, great pick.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenea! I hope so - we shall see.
DeleteI like the sound of this one, returning to a small town with secrets, and a mystery- sounds tense!
ReplyDeleteI know. What is it about small town secrets?
DeleteHere's another one for my reading list. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHappy to add to your list. You add to mine. LOL
DeleteThis sounds wonderfully creepy and complex -- looking forward to your review!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to be able to read it later in the summer.
DeleteI hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteMe too, Mary!
DeleteDefinitely a creepy vibe to this one!
ReplyDeleteYes, secrets and disappearances - small towns - sounds gripping.
DeleteI've heard good things about this author, but I haven't read anything by her either. I'm also a sucker for small town settings, especially when the MC left it behind swearing never to return! You just know some juicy secrets are about to be revealed :)
ReplyDeleteI lied! I have read Lori Roy before -- looks like I didn't love LET ME DIE IN HIS FOOTSTEPS. Hm. Well, the one you spotlighted sounds better. I'm going to give it a go!
DeleteWell, we'll see how we fare, right? We both know that some books by a certain author work and some don't. Let's hope this one is a great one.
DeleteI just got this one from Penguin First to Read. I'm really excited for it!
ReplyDeleteOh, good! Hope you like it!
DeleteI haven't heard of this author before, but this sounds like my kind of book.
ReplyDeleteShe's written maybe 4 other books - something like that. And has been nominated for awards. I keep meaning to read her books, but think I'll start with this one.
DeleteI looked at the author's website. Can't tell whether her books are for me, yet, but definitely worth looking into. I do that a lot with authors, buy books that I still haven't gotten to.
ReplyDeleteTracy, you made me laugh. I think we all do that with authors. So many books sound good and then we get distracted with other ones, right? If you do decide to try one, hope you like it.
DeleteKay, I'm with you. I've had this author's books on my radar (actually I have one on my shelf) and just haven't gotten around to them. This will be another one I'll have to keep on my radar!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to start with this one, Iliana. Then I'll see if her writing style suits me.
DeleteOooh! This sounds like an intense read! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my WoW!

I'm hoping so. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteExcellent recommendation! It sounds like a fantastic read.
ReplyDeleteI hope so. Looking forward to it. Thanks!
DeleteThis sounds really good! I like the idea of this woman having to return home, even though there is a bad history there.
ReplyDeletePlanning on reading this at some point this summer. We'll see how it goes.
DeleteSounds really good. I love in Florida. I love finding books set here.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this is one you'll try. I'm looking forward to reading it.
DeleteThis sounds good! I like small-town mystery/suspense and haven't had a chance to read anything from this author yet. Thanks for yet another great review. I particularly like how you add in the first paragraph at the top of the review. It's like I'm in the bookstore looking over your shoulder! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words. I haven't read this one as yet, but I finally have a 'pattern' to use for my reviews. It seems to work for me and for others.
DeleteSounds good! I haven't heard of this author but given the 2 Edgars I definitely need to learn more about her!
ReplyDeleteYes, winning awards definitely helps, right?
DeleteOhh great pick this book looks and sounds like an amazing thriller, I hope you enjoy the book when you get the chance to read it.
ReplyDeleteIt's my kind of book. So, hoping so too!
DeleteWaiting on Wednesday is a great meme. I haven't participated in so long that I'd forgotten about it until I saw it here on your blog. Thanks for the reminder, Kay.
ReplyDeleteIt's one that I enjoy - not as bit as it used to be, but still quite a few participate. I do when I can.
