Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Synopsis:
Small towns are nothing if not friendly. Friendship, Wisconsin (population: 688) is no different. Around here, everyone wears a smile. And no one ever locks their doors. Until, that is, high school sweetheart Ruth Fried is found murdered. Strung up like a scarecrow in the middle of a cornfield.
Unfortunately, Friendship’s police are more adept at looking for lost pets than catching killers. So Ruth’s best friend, Kippy Bushman, armed with only her tenacious Midwestern spirit and Ruth’s secret diary (which Ruth’s mother had asked her to read in order to redact any, you know, sex parts), sets out to find the murderer. But in a quiet town like Friendship—where no one is a suspect—anyone could be the killer.

It may be just me, but I find that the mother would want the friend to remove any "sex parts" kind of hilarious. I think I might do the same thing in her situation, which only makes me want to read this more. I love the quirky sweater cover and you know how addicted I am to books about murder. Seriously, I have a problem. If I'm not reading about it, I'm watching it on ID. Anyway, this has shot right up to the top of my wish list, if only we didn't have to wait for the new year :(
What are you anxiously awaiting? Leave me a link and I'll come check it out!
I think I saw this on Edelweiss! It looks good! The sweater is a nice touch. :D Great pick!

ReplyDeleteI really like ya thrillers, and they seem to be becoming one of the popular sub-genres now. Looking forward to this one.

Oeeeh lovely cover! That would make me buy the book without even looking at the story. The story isn't something I normally read, but have to say it looks like a very good read!

Can you recommend any similar YA mysteries? Lately, I've been craving something a little scary and suspenseful.
