Welcome to another Waiting on Wednesday event, hosted by Jill, at Breaking the Spine.
Every week, we search out upcoming book releases…and then gather around the blogosphere, sharing our thoughts and blurbs. Today’s spotlight is shining on a book from a new-to-me author: Intrusion, by Mary McCluskey. Release Date – July 1.
Synopsis: A loving couple, grieving the loss of their son, finds their marriage in free fall when a beautiful, long-lost acquaintance inserts herself into their lives.
Kat and Scott Hamilton are dealing with the hardest of losses: the death of their only child. While Scott throws himself back into his law practice in Los Angeles, Kat is hesitant to rejoin the workplace and instead spends her days shell-shocked and confused, unable to focus.
When an unwelcome face from Kat’s past in England emerges—the beautiful and imposing Sarah Cherrington—Kat’s marriage is thrown into a tailspin. Now wealthy beyond anything she could have imagined as a girl, Sarah appears to have everything she could need or want. But Sarah has an agenda and she wants one more thing. Soon Kat and Scott are caught up in her devious games and power plays.
Against the backdrops of Southern California and Sussex, in spare and haunting prose, Mary McCluskey propels this domestic drama to its chilling conclusion.

I was drawn into this story by the loss, and then kept engaged by the machinations of an intruder posing as a friend. What do you think? Would you grab this one?

This sounds like a good read and I’m also interested in that Lisa Unger book you mentioned on my blog. I will have to dig more into both of them!

Thanks for stopping by, Barb…it was hard to find participants today, as Jill didn’t put up her post. So I used last week’s linky…LOL.
Anyway, yes, the Unger book is really creepy but riveting. You might just love it.

I would definitely read this book. I would probably be finding myself outraged at the friend, but that is what makes for a great read. I hope that you enjoy this one! 🙂

I am already feeling outraged at the friend, without even having read the book. But you’re right, those emotions do make a good book. Thanks for visiting, Olivia.
