On a cold January evening, Detective Liam Hunter and his partner are called to investigate the discovery of a woman’s body in the woods on the outskirts of Ottawa. She’s the missing fiancée of a wealthy businessman twice her age who claims to know nothing about her murky past.

That same evening, a young woman escapes from a downtown condo where she’s been held captive. Eighteen-year-old Sara McGowan takes the fleeing woman under her wing, only to become the target of the trafficking ring desperate to get her back.

Meanwhile, reporter Ella Tate is attempting to track down an anonymous source who claims to have evidence of illegal activity that implicates people in high positions � people who will do anything to protect their reputations.

The stakes mount and lives collide as Hunter and Tate desperately work to solve a murder with tentacles more far-reaching than either can imagine.

The question who will survive this web of secrets unscathed?

Reviews for Who Lies in Wait

Chapman’s latest is a believable mystery that readers can sink their teeth into, filled with crime, secrets, and just the right amount of violence. Countless potential suspects drive the plot, and Chapman skillfully threads the different storylines together while avoiding stereotyped, one-dimensional figures; instead, the main players are a little messy but mostly lovable, hopelessly flawed and tremendously brave. These idiosyncrasies will entice readers to return for the next installment in the series.

Who Lies in Wait, Brenda Chapman’s riveting new Hunter and Tate mystery, opens at night in a frozen forest outside Ottawa. You can almost feel the frost as Detective Liam Hunter and his partner view the body of a murdered woman. Chapman’s evocation of winter is so vivid that it’s almost a character. The story is littered with red herrings and unexpected twists. This compulsively readable tale will keep you up past your bedtime as you try to unravel the mesmerizing mystery.
� Don Butler, author of Norman’s Conquest

With WHO LIES IN WAIT, Brenda Chapman’s fourth novel in her Hunter and Tate mystery series, the Ottawa author has crafted a twisty, expertly plotted page turner, grounded in a wonderfully evocative sense of place, with richly developed characters that confirm Chapman’s place as one of Canada’s doyennes of crime fiction.
� John Delacourt, author of The Black State

The story is complex and compelling while further developing the various characters and their arcs. So, well done!

“An eventful autobiography [and] a classic American story…Gripping.”—The Washington Post

“One of the most consequential and most prominent [careers] in American medicine in the past fifty years.”—Jerome Groopman, The New Yorker

Anthony Fauci is arguably the most famous � and most revered � doctor in the world today. His role guiding America sanely and calmly through Covid (and through the torrents of Trump) earned him the trust of millions during one of the most terrifying periods in modern American history, but this was only the most recent of the global epidemics in which Dr. Fauci played a major role. His crucial role in researching HIV and bringing AIDS into sympathetic public view and his leadership in navigating the Ebola, SARS, West Nile, and anthrax crises, make him truly an American hero.

His memoir reaches back to his boyhood in Brooklyn, New York, and carries through decades of caring for critically ill patients, navigating the whirlpools of Washington politics, and behind-the-scenes advising and negotiating with seven presidents on key issues from global AIDS relief to infectious disease preparedness at home. ON CALL will be an inspiration for listeners who admire and are grateful to him and for those who want to emulate him in public service. He is the embodiment of “speaking truth to power,� with dignity and results.]]> Anthony Fauci Rhinnan 0 currently-reading 4.49 2024

Bern Hendricks has just received the call of a lifetime. As one of the world’s preeminent experts on the famed twentieth-century composer Frederick Delaney, Bern knows everything there is to know about the man behind the music. When Mallory Roberts, a board member of the distinguished Delaney Foundation and direct descendant of the man himself, asks for Bern’s help authenticating a newly discovered piece, which may be his famous lost opera, RED, he jumps at the chance. With the help of his tech-savvy acquaintance Eboni, Bern soon discovers that the truth is far more complicated than history would have them believe.

In 1920s Manhattan, Josephine Reed is living on the streets and frequenting jazz clubs when she meets the struggling musician Fred Delaney. But where young Delaney struggles, Josephine soars. She’s a natural prodigy who hears beautiful music in the sounds of the world around her. With Josephine as his silent partner, Delaney’s career takes off—but who is the real genius here?

In the present day, Bern and Eboni begin to uncover more clues that indicate Delaney may have had help in composing his most successful work. Armed with more questions than answers and caught in the crosshairs of a powerful organization who will stop at nothing to keep their secret hidden, Bern and Eboni will move heaven and earth in their dogged quest to right history’s wrongs.]]> 448 Brendan Slocumb 0593315448 Rhinnan 0 currently-reading 4.22 2023

I saw my first Blakiston’s fish owl in the Russian province of Primorye, a coastal talon of land hooking south into the belly of Northeast Asia . . . No scientist had seen a Blakiston’s fish owl so far south in a hundred years . . .

When he was just a fledgling birdwatcher, Jonathan C. Slaght had a chance encounter with one of the most mysterious birds on Earth. Bigger than any owl he knew, it looked like a small bear with decorative feathers. He snapped a quick photo and shared it with experts. Soon he was on a five-year journey, searching for this enormous, enigmatic creature in the lush, remote forests of eastern Russia. That first sighting set his calling as a scientist.

Despite a wingspan of six feet and a height of over two feet, the Blakiston’s fish owl is highly elusive. They are easiest to find in winter, when their tracks mark the snowy banks of the rivers where they feed. They are also endangered. And so, as Slaght and his devoted team set out to locate the owls, they aim to craft a conservation plan that helps ensure the species� survival. This quest sends them on all-night monitoring missions in freezing tents, mad dashes across thawing rivers, and free-climbs up rotting trees to check nests for precious eggs. They use cutting-edge tracking technology and improvise ingenious traps. And all along, they must keep watch against a run-in with a bear or an Amur tiger. At the heart of Slaght’s story are the fish owls themselves: cunning hunters, devoted parents, singers of eerie duets, and survivors in a harsh and shrinking habitat.

Through this rare glimpse into the everyday life of a field scientist and conservationist, Owls of the Eastern Ice testifies to the determination and creativity essential to scientific advancement and serves as a powerful reminder of the beauty, strength, and vulnerability of the natural world.]]> Jonathan C.

Steph Jagger lost her mother before she lost her. Her mother, stricken with an incurable disease that slowly erases all sense of self, struggles to remember her favorite drink, her favorite song, and―perhaps most heartbreaking of all―Steph herself. Steph watches as the woman who loved and raised her slips away before getting the chance to tell her story, and so Steph makes a promise: her mother will walk it and she will write it.

Too aware of her mother’s waning memory, Steph proposes that the two take a camping trip out to Montana―which her mother, on the urging of Steph’s father, agrees to embark upon. An adventure full of horseback riding, hiking, and “tenting� out West quickly turns into one woman’s reflection on childhood, motherhood, personhood―and what it means to love someone who doesn’t quite remember the person she spent her lifetime becoming.

A staggeringly beautiful examination of how stories are passed down through generations and from Mother Nature, Everything Left to Remember brings us the wisdom of who our memories make us under the constellations of the vast Montana sky.]]> 272 Steph Jagger 125026183X Rhinnan 0 currently-reading 4.00

Think you know your kings and queens? Think again.

In UNRULY, David Mitchell explores how England's monarchs, while acting as feared rulers firmly guiding their subjects' destinies, were in reality a bunch of lucky sods who were mostly as silly and weird in real life as they appear today in their portraits.

Taking us right back to King Arthur (spoiler: he didn't exist), David tells the founding story of post-Roman England right up to the reign of Elizabeth I (spoiler: she dies). It's a tale of narcissists, inadequate self-control, excessive beheadings, middle-management insurrection, uncivil wars, and at least one total Cnut, as the population evolved from having their crops nicked by the thug with the largest armed gang to bowing and paying taxes to a divinely anointed king.

How this happened, who it happened to and why it matters in modern Britain are all questions David answers with brilliance, wit and the full erudition of a man who once studied history - and won't let it off the hook for the mess it's made.

A funny book about a serious subject, UNRULY is for anyone who has ever wondered how we got here - and who is to blame.

Read by David Mitchell.
