This Is Why We Lied – Karin Slaughter

This Is Why We Lied, the twelfth entry in Karin Slaughter’s Will Trent series, picks up just after Will and Sara’s wedding, as they arrive in a mountain retreat for their honeymoon.  When the resort manager is killed, the honeymoon gets put on hold so they can investigate.  With everyone on the mountain a suspect, including a man from Will’s past, they try to piece together the timeline leading up to the murder and figure out who the killer is.

Now that I’m caught up on the series after four plus years, another new entry makes it to the top of the to-read pile rather quickly.  Thankfully, Slaughter avoids the crutch of having the villain have some sort of personal connection to the primary players in the investigation, although there was a chance to do so.  I will patiently wait the next entry while continuing to work through her earlier Grant Country series.
