Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings
that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.
(WoW was previously hosted by Breaking The Spine.)
Synopsis from Goodreads:The Cold Case Squad of the NYPD is overworked, understaffed, but receiving great press due to star detective, Everett Larkin. His uncanny memory and Holmesian-like skills of deduction have already led to the capture of one serial killer. Now he’s identified a second predator and brought an end to their twenty-plus year reign of terror.
Routine construction at a Broadway souvenir shop leads to the discovery of a mummified woman in the wall. And when Larkin receives a mysterious VHS tape that same night, he knows it’s no coincidence. Expecting a Victorian mourning artifact in this new mystery, Larkin wastes no time turning to former historian and current boyfriend, Ira Doyle of the Forensic Artists Unit for help.
A web of nameless victims, countless suspects, and endless lies drag Larkin and Doyle deep into the gritty past of Times Square, reopening painful wounds and testing the fortitude of their relationship. And all the while, someone is watching, biding their time until they can make Everett Larkin nothing… but a memory.
I love this series! The first 2 books were my favorite reads last year. Larkin has HSAM - Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory. He vividly recalls dates and events with perfect memory and experiences the emotions as if it were currently happening. Needless to say, he is an emotional wreck, but Doyle has been there to support him and keep him going. This 'couple' has SUCH a slow burn going on, but it's almost not noticable because the cases are so convoluted and intense. I can't wait to read this! (P.S. I pre-ordered this, so please don't be delayed again. My heart can't take it.)
What are you waiting on this week?
Nice pick! That's an interesting thing to have! I've got a bad memory, or maybe it's just selective. I can remember somethings from way long ago, but trying to remember a book from 5 years ago? Forget it! Lol.
