The Butcher Legacy by Alaina Urquhart 

The Butcher Legacy by Alaina Urquhart — the thrilling third novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dr. Wren Muller series from the co-host of the hit true-crime podcast Morbid.

Two months after the life-altering events of The Butcher Game, forensic pathologist Dr. Wren Muller is back where she feels most at home: the New Orleans morgue. Surrounded by familiar colleagues and new allies, including Detective John Leroux and Maya Rodriguez, she tries to rebuild a sense of normalcy.

But in the weeks leading up to Halloween, the shadows begin to move again. Young girls vanish in the same cities once terrorized by Jeremy Rose — the serial killer known as the Bayou Butcher, now behind bars. Hundreds of miles away in Massachusetts, pastor Philip Trudeau returns to his pulpit. Beneath his composed exterior lie gruesome secrets and a hunger that did not die when Jeremy was caged.

With Jeremy imprisoned and Philip suddenly missing, Wren and Leroux must act. The twisted connections between them pull tighter, and the hunt turns personal. The Butcher Legacy is a relentless, page-turning descent into darkness — a high-stakes serial-killer thriller that delivers shocking twists while remaining grounded in the grim realities of forensic investigation.

From the author whose real-life experience as an autopsy technician brings chilling authenticity to every page, this is the next unputdownable chapter in the Dr. Wren Muller saga.
