This Is Why We Lied
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. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and dense forest, it promises seclusion, serenity, and solace for its exclusive clientele. But as with many secrets buried deep beneath the surface, the tranquillity of the lodge is a facade.
Among the guests enjoying the secluded luxury are individuals hiding dark and interconnected secrets. Each of them is lying—whether about their past, their motives, or even their true identity. The evening that Mercy McAlpine, the lodge owner’s seemingly innocent daughter, threatens to expose everyone's secrets changes everything. Before the night ends, Mercy is found dead.
In such a remote area, far from the prying eyes of civilization, it seems easy to get away with murder. However, in a twist of fate, Will Trent, a seasoned investigator, and Sara Linton, a forensic pathologist for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, happen to be spending their honeymoon at the lodge. With a killer in their midst and the possibility of another strike, their idyllic escape quickly transforms into a high-stakes race against time to prevent further tragedy.
Their unique skills will be put to the ultimate test as they navigate the maze of deceit around them. As they dig deeper into the murky web of lies, they must uncover the truth about Mercy’s death while ensuring no one else falls victim to the killer’s game.
Prepare for an electrifying read filled with suspense, intricate plot twists, and the compelling partnership of Will Trent and Sara Linton in Karin Slaughter's masterful storytelling.
