Waiting on Wednesday was hosted by Jill atΒ Breaking the Spine, and spotlights upcoming releases that weβre eagerly anticipating.
Today my pick is You Know Her by Meagan Jennett, out April 4:
Killing EveΒ meetsΒ Sharp ObjectsΒ in this lush, savage Southern Gothic about two women: a fledgling murderer and the cop hell-bent on catching her.
Two hours before he vanished, Mark Dixon stole a glass of wine. That’s what bartender Sophie Braam told the cops when they questioned her about the customer whose mutilated body was just found. What she didnβt tell them is that sheβs the one who killed him.
Officer Nora Martin is new to the Bellair Police Department and trying very hard to learn the ropes from Detective Murphy while ignoring all the men in the department snapping about a diversity hire. When she meets Sophie, they build an uneasy camaraderie over shared frustrations.
As winter slides into spring and bodies start piling up, Nora begins to suspect that somethingβs not quite right with the unnerving, enigmatic bartender. But will she be able to convince Murph, or will he keep laughing off the idea that the serial killer haunting their little town is a woman?
A crackling cat-and-mouse thriller set against the verdant backdrop of small-town Virginia, Meagan JennettβsΒ You Know HerΒ probes the boundaries of female friendship and the deadly consequences when frustration ferments into rage.
I love a good thriller, and I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about this one already! I know I’ll be grabbing a copy when it’s out next month.
What are you waiting on this week?
