This Is Why We Lied: A Will Trent Thriller BY Karin Slaughter

In Karin Slaughter’s latest suspenseful thriller, The Deadly Lodge, readers join GBI investigator Will Trent and medical examiner Sara Linton on what should be a peaceful honeymoon at McAlpine Lodge—a remote, picturesque retreat nestled on a mountaintop. However, their romantic getaway takes a dark turn when a bone-chilling scream pierces the night.

The scream heralds the discovery of Mercy McAlpine, the Lodge’s manager, found dead under mysterious and violent circumstances. With a severe storm raging outside and the access road washed out, the isolated setting means that the killer must be among the guests. As Will and Sara begin their investigation, they confront a tangled web of deceit spun by the McAlpine family and the other visitors.

Each guest harbors secrets, lies about their past, and deceitful motives. The idyllic surroundings of the Lodge contrast sharply with the sinister truth lurking beneath. As Will and Sara peel back layers of deception, they uncover a series of dark and buried secrets that could point to the identity of Mercy's killer. The stakes rise as it becomes evident that the killer is not done yet and is poised to strike again.

The Deadly Lodge is a gripping blend of psychological suspense and domestic thriller, marked by Karin Slaughter’s signature twists, turns, and shocks. Trapped in a snowbound resort with a killer on the loose, Will and Sara must navigate a treacherous game of cat and mouse to solve the murder and survive the deadly retreat.
