WoW: The Book of Cold Cases by Simone St. James

This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!

Book Cover

A true-crime blogger gets more than she bargained for while interviewing the woman acquitted of two cold case slayings in this chilling new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Sun Down Motel.

In 1977, Claire Lake, Oregon, was shaken by the Lady Killer Murders: Two men, seemingly randomly, were murdered with the same gun, with strange notes left behind. Beth Greer was the perfect suspect – a rich, eccentric twenty-three-year-old woman, seen fleeing one of the crimes. But she was acquitted, and she retreated to the isolation of her mansion.

Oregon, 2017. Shea Collins is a receptionist, but by night, she runs a true-crime website, the Book of Cold Cases – a passion fueled by the attempted abduction she escaped as a child. When she meets Beth by chance, Shea asks her for an interview. To Shea’s surprise, Beth says yes. They meet regularly at Beth’s mansion, though Shea is never comfortable there. Items move when she’s not looking, and she could swear she’s seen a small girl outside the window.

The allure of learning the truth about the case from the smart, charming Beth is too much to resist, but even as they grow closer, Shea senses something isn’t right. Is she making friends with a manipulative murderer, or are there other dangers lurking in the darkness of the Greer house?

Why I’m Waiting: Normally when y’all see Berkley on here I’m fangirling about a romance right? Well this time I’m fangirling about a mystery/thriller. I am a SUCKER for true crime and cold cases and I’m a blogger, so seeing all three of those words and phrases were like a shock to my bookish system lol I need this in my hands. And it just so happens that I came across this when I started my current read which is also about a true crime fan lol I told you lol I’m addicted.

What about you? Will you be reading this? Have you heard of this? Do you like true crime or cold cases? What about books about them? Let me know in the comments!
