"Waiting On" Wednesday: A Stranger Like You

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:

A Stranger Like You
By Elizabeth Brundage
Publication Date: August 5

From Amazon:

Hedda Chase is a top-flight executive producer at Gladiator Films, fast-tracked in the business since she graduated from Yale. An aggressive businesswoman, she recently pulled the plug on a film project initiated by one of her predecessors. The screenwriter on the project was Hugh Waters, a wannabe with a dead-end marriage and a day job at an insurance company. This script was his ticket out--until Hedda tampered with his plans, claiming his violence was over the top, his premise not credible, and his ending implausible. Hugh decides to prove otherwise by staging his script's ending and casting Hedda Chase as the victim. He flies to Los Angeles and finds Hedda, kidnaps her, and locks her in the trunk of her vintage BMW in the parking lot at LAX. He leaves the keys in the ignition, the parking ticket on the dash, and lets "destiny" take its course.

What's your "waiting on" pick this week?

    I read one of Brundage's other books (The Doctor's Wife or something like that) and it was better than I had thought when I picked it up. Much darker that I had anticipated.

    This is my first time participating in this meme but I've enjoyed seeing it on other blogs ... even though it just adds to an already huge wish list pile.

    Commenting on a blog is an art. Good comments create relations. You’re doing great work. Keep it up. We provide the highest quality in mold remediation services, asbestos removal & water dry out in Maricopa County including Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, Glendale, Scottsdale, and Gilbert! for more information visit our website We water damage restoration

    I wanted to write down a note to appreciate you for all of the stunning points you are placing at this site. My rather long internet look up has at the end been paid with reasonable ideas to share with my neighbours. I ‘d say that we visitors actually are definitely endowed to live in a really good website with very many outstanding professionals with useful concepts. I feel really privileged to have seen your web pages and look forward to so many more enjoyable minutes reading here. Thanks a lot once more for everything.

    I simply needed to appreciate you again. I’m not certain the things that I would have taken care of in the absence of the points contributed by you on my problem. It seemed to be the daunting problem for me, however , looking at a new specialized form you handled it took me to weep over fulfillment. I am grateful for this help and in addition trust you are aware of a powerful job you happen to be accomplishing training most people through the use of a site. More than likely you’ve never come across all of us.
