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've read this author's first book, The Couple Next Door, and liked it. I have not read her second as yet, but I plan to and I'm waiting on her third. I like the winter setting and the 'locked room' vibe. This week, I'm waiting on:
by Shari Lapena
Publication Date: August 7th
So when the weather takes a turn for the worse, and a blizzard cuts off the electricity--and all contact with the outside world--the guests settle in for the long haul.
Soon, though, one of the guests turns up dead--it looks like an accident. But when a second guest dies, they start to panic.
Within the snowed-in paradise, something--or someone--is picking off the guests one by one. And there's nothing they can do but hunker down and hope they can survive the storm.
This sounds rather chilling. I remember a murder mystery somewhat like this that I watched ages ago on PBS with the family when I was little and it stuck with me forever. I hope you love it!

Yes, one of my favorite types of mystery themes is the 'locked room', where the sleuth has to figure out what looks like an impossible situation.
DeleteI'm looking forward to this one too. Hope we both enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteMe too, Laura!
DeleteI can’t wait to get my hands on this one! I hope you get the chance to rea it soon.
ReplyDeleteI truly can't wait. I love locked room mysteries. It's the puzzle, you know?
DeleteI liked The Couple Next Door a lot too. This one should be good!
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember that several didn't care for the 2nd book quite as much, but we'll see how this one is.
DeleteI was lucky enough to get an ARC of this one at Book Expo. It's near the top of my reading list.
ReplyDeleteHow nice, Catherine! Hope you like it!
DeleteI liked The Couple Next Door, but this one has the added benefit of snow!
ReplyDeleteExactly! And the 'locked room' feeling. Cold books in summer.
DeleteI definitely need this one. THis has a different cover also to the one I've seen, and I love it! Awesome pick.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think the UK cover is (as usual) different. I think this one is better.
DeleteI am very interested in this and am willing to give the author another try, even thought I really didn't like The Couple Next Door!
ReplyDeleteYes, I understand what you're saying. I did like The Couple Next Door, but there were not very many likable characters in it.
DeleteThis sounds pretty much like edge of your seat chilling. Hope you enjoy it a bunch!
ReplyDeleteRenee ~ My Wow
I'm hoping it will be 'edge of your seat', Renee. :-)
DeleteI really liked The Couple Next Door. I want to read this one too.
ReplyDeleteThe Couple Next Door was pretty good. I didn't love everything about it, but most of it. Hope this one works as well.
DeleteThis book is on my wishlist. It sounds like a really great read. Awesome pick!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ashley. I think a lot of people will be looking for it.
DeleteI almost didn't want to look at yours because I knew it was going to be a book I needed to add to my TBR and of course it is! This looks like a page turner!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is my aim to add to your TBR. LOL
DeleteOoh, I hope this one is as good as it sounds! The ideal setting for a murder mystery...
ReplyDeleteI agree about the ideal setting.
DeleteAwesome! I'd not heard of this one, but it's going on my wishlist asap.
ReplyDeleteI have relatives who live in the Catskills and we went to their house a couple of weeks every year, summer and winter.
I like when the weather or climate plays a big role in a suspense, so yes, this sounds like fun!
The Catskills always makes me think of Dirty Dancing. Ha! This might be more intense and less dancing. LOL
DeleteAhh, this sounds creepy! Such a pretty setting, but then these murders, and knowing it has to be someone already there??
ReplyDeleteYes, I love those type of mysteries. The puzzle is lots of fun.
DeleteThis is her 3rd book, I think. It does sound good doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteOoh, I like the sound of this one! Might have to look into it and the author's other works. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you like domestic thrillers, try The Couple Next Door.
DeleteOooh, I love these kinds of mysteries. I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for this one!
ReplyDeleteI know. Cold weather, locked room, murder - what's not to like, right?
DeleteI still haven't read The Couple Next Door but already like the sound of this one too!
ReplyDeleteMight try this one first, Iliana. The Couple Next Door is a domestic thriller. This one sounds a little different.
DeleteOooh sounds good. I especially like the blizzard aspect right about now. lol
ReplyDeleteYes, that appeals to me too! It's definitely summer here, right?
DeleteI like a lot of these stranded in the snow books if there is decent action and tension in it. Sounds intriguing!
ReplyDeleteI like those kinds of books too. Hope it's a good one.
DeleteI enjoyed The Couple Next Door and would like to read more by the author. This one sounds like it will be good!
ReplyDeleteI hope so. I've heard kind of mixed reactions about her second book, which came out last year.
