Wilde Lake by Laura Lippman, February 14, 2017, William Morrow, a modern day twist of To Kill a Mockingbird.
Book beginning:
When my brother was eighteen, he broke his arm in an accident that ended in another young man's death. I wish I could tell you that we mourned the boy who died, but we did not. He was the one with murder in his heart and, sure enough, death found him that night. Funny how that works.
It happened at the lake. Wilde Lake....
Page 56:
Summer, usually our dullest season, flew after we met Noel.
I plan to read the book late summer, when this takes place! By the way, it's on Stephen King's list of books to read this summer! See his list of new book recommendations.

This looks great. And Stephen King has great lists, so it can't be bad. I'm reading Midwinter by Fiona Melrose.
ReplyDeleteI like that King endorsed it, yes!
DeleteWhat an odd, intriguing opening...He had murder in his heart. What does that mean? My Friday Quotes
ReplyDeleteI am eager to find out too!
DeleteThis sounds pretty interesting. Thanks for mentioning it.
ReplyDeleteHope you get to it soon, too!
DeleteThat book opening sounds very intriguing.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me want to know more about the book. Though it is only a few sentences, I like the way the situation is presented in such an odd way,
The opening sounds intriguing, promising, I agree.
DeleteI'm intriuged, especially as it's on Stephen Kings TBR pile. Fickle I know. LOL Where can I find out what else he has on his list?

I've been told many times that I need to try Lippman. One of these days! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you get to try the books!
DeleteI love Laura and will grab any book I see by her.
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental Friday Memes
She is certainly popular!
DeleteSounds good. I hope it grabs you when you get to read it. This week I have an urban fantasy - Midnight Curse by Melissa F. Olson. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the urban fantasy!
DeleteFor a minute I thought Lippman had a new book out...but your Wilde Lake just has a different cover from mine. Loved it! I definitely hope she publishes another one soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and here's mine: “AFTER ANNA”
I know how confusing that can be to have books have different covers!
DeleteWow. I was not expecting the end of your book beginning - not mourning a kid who died, who also had murder in his heart. I'm intrigued.

My Friday 56
The opening lines do pull you in!
DeleteKarma is a bitch, as they say... love that beginning! Sounds like an edge-of-your-seat kind of read! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThis one has been on my TBR for awhile and I love that beginning. It definitely has me wondering what exactly happened in that accident!
