Obsessed with True Crime discussion

It's going to be a long wait. It's not due to be released until Dec. 29. As usual it will be Phelp's usual wordy tome at 400 pages.


We Thought We Knew You: A Terrifying True Story of Secrets, Betrayal, Deception, and Murder

I tend to like Phelps, so I'll wait! Odd release date - you'd think they'd want to get it out before Christmas as True Crime makes a perfect gift, you know.

I see what you mean. Even some sort of instant Kindle gift-giving would be too late for Squidmas.

Yeah! We should complain to his publisher.

I like him! I will wait!

Found the synopsis on Amazon

"In this chilling true-crime thriller by New York Times bestselling journalist M. William Phelps, a woman’s mysterious death in upstate New York plunges her family into a nightmare of backstabbing and vengeance . . .

In July 2015, Mary Yoder returned home from the chiropractic center that she operated with her husband, Bill, complaining that she felt unwell. Mary, health-conscious and vibrant, was suddenly vomiting, sweating, and weak. Doctors in the ER and ICU were baffled as to the cause of her rapidly progressing illness. Her loved ones—including Bill and their children, Adam, Tamryn, and Liana—gathered in shock to say goodbye.

In the weeks that followed Mary’s death, the grief-stricken family received startling news from the medical examiner: Mary had been deliberately poisoned. The lethal substance was colchicine, a chemical used to treat gout but extremely toxic if not taken as prescribed. Mary did not have gout. Another bombshell followed when the local sheriff’s office received a claim that Adam Yoder had poisoned his mother. But Adam was not the only person of interest in the case."

He is a favourite of mine and what I really like about his reads is that they are lengthy and not one of these short stories that you can devour in a day. I can't wait to read it.

I will patiently wait!
