Can’t Wait Wednesday – Formula of Deception

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally, they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. If you’re continuing with WOW, feel free to link those up as well! Find out more here.

There are so many great reads coming out this summer, I’ve had a hard time narrowing which ones I want to share down! This one is coming out next week, so I don’t have to wait long!

My first introduction to Carrie Stuart Parks was the second book in the Gwen Marcey series. They were extra enjoyable to me because a couple of them were set in places I lived near. In fact, I went to college in the area the final book in this series is set in Idaho.

Now she takes readers to Alaska with more mystery and intrigue with Formula of Deception

When her twin sister was murdered, Murphy Anderson changed her name and appearance and moved to Kodiak to avoid the press and publicity. But when local authorities discover she’s an artist and request her help in drawing a dying man’s memories, she unintentionally ends up in the limelight again—and may be back in the killer’s crosshairs.

The memory that Murphy was asked to draw was from an Alaskan hunter who discovered five bodies on remote Ruuwaq Island ten years ago, but has only shared the information with the police now that he’s dying of cancer. When they go to the island to investigate, no skeletons remain but there is evidence that the bodies may have been deliberately destroyed. But the big discovery is of a World War II Quonset hut.

As one by one the people who were at the hut die, Murphy knows there is something much deeper at stake. What happened there during WWII? And who is willing to kill to keep those secrets buried?
