Today I’m participating in WWW Wednesdays, at Taking on a World of Words. Here’s how it works:
The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next, and/or what are you eagerly awaiting?

EAGERLY ANTICIPATING: What Have You Done?, by Shari Lapena – July 30, 2024
Synopsis: Nothing ever happens in sleepy little Fairhill, Vermont. But this morning that will change. And one innocent question could be deadly. What have you done?
The teenagers get their kicks telling ghost stories in the old graveyard. The parents trust their kids will arrive home safe from school. Everyone knows everyone. Curtains rarely twitch. Front doors are left unlocked.
But Diana Brewer isn’t lying safely in her bed where she belongs. Instead she lies in a hayfield, circled by vultures, discovered by a local farmer.
How quickly a girl becomes a ghost. How quickly a town of friendly, familiar faces becomes a town of suspects, a place of fear and paranoia.
Someone in Fairhill did this. Everyone wants answers.

That was my week. What did yours look like?

I have liked some Ruth Ware but not others. However, I just got an email that this new one is waiting for me at the library (annoyingly, I was just across the street at the gym but it closes at 6). I have something else urgent to read first but it should be fun.
I have been enjoying Shari LaPena too, although her books are full of unpleasant characters. Did you like An Unwanted Guest? I wanted Gwen to wind up with the guy suspected of killing his wife but if I remember correctly that didn’t happen.

Thanks, Constance, I have enjoyed all the LaPena books I have read, but the details of The Unwanted Guest are escaping me at the moment, lol. Must check my review.
