Lie in Wait Audiobook Summary

From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Silent Girls comes another unforgettable thriller set in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, featuring Detective Sonja Test

Even in a quiet Vermont town, unspeakable acts of the past can destroy the peace of the present

In the remote, pastoral hamlet of Canaan, Vermont, a high-profile legal case shatters the town’s sense of peace and community. Anger simmers. Fear and prejudice awaken. Old friends turn on each other. Violence threatens.

So when a young teenage girl is savagely murdered while babysitting at the house of the lead attorney in the case, Detective Sonja Test believes the girl’s murder and the divisive case must be linked.

However, as the young detective digs deeper into her first murder case, she discovers sordid acts hidden for decades, and learns that behind the town’s idyllic facade of pristine snow lurks a capacity in some for great darkness and the betrayal of innocents. And Sonja Test, a mother of two, will do anything to protect the innocent.

Not as good as The Silent GirlsIt was good but not great. A lot of moving parts that were all over the place. I enjoyed it, but def liked The Silent Girls a lot more.

If I could have read this in one setting, I would have. Absolutely marvelous story, haunting as the pieces came together for another book that takes morality and twists it around. All ethics and points-of-view are considered, every little instance has a seed of doubt in a story with no winners.Lovely writing.

Well done! Truly enjoyed it, but slightly disappointed that it didn't pick up where the first book left off. One of the same characters, but the closure I was looking from the first book wasn't there. Once I realized it wasn't truly a sequel, I set about enjoying the book for itself, which was pretty good.

I read Silent Girls and immediately ordered this from the library. I couldn't get enough. So many twists and turns - right up until the end!

I look forward to more books from Eric Rickstad. This book is engaging with well developed characters, and I like how he melds current issues with them. This book was staggering how I was completely caught off guard at the end, but throughout the book I'm always guessing; and always highly interested!

Lie In Wait is an extremely well crafted and multi-layered murder mystery/thriller. While I found Rickstad's other Canaan thriller, The Silent Girls, to be a better story, Lie In Wait has an undeniable pull on the reader. What starts out as a murder case surrounding a 15 year old girl eventually moves into an exploration of religion, the sins of our fathers, assault, and how secrets can be kept buried across decades. Pair this book with... A full bodied Merlot.

Eric Rickstad is officially one of my new favourite authors. I adored reading The Silent Girls earlier this year, and saved his newest book for the end of my 2015 reading pile. I was definitely not disappointed! Certainly a dark theme, not for the faint of heart, but that's just how I like my suspense novels these days. I can't wait for more!

Wow! I thought the first book was good but this one is better. Could not stop reading. The only thing I hate about a good book is that it ends. I hope there are more of these with officer test. Good book! Highly recommended.
