MURDER ROAD by Simone St. James is one of the best thrillers I have ever read. The way the author weaved the supernatural with the real was incredible. I was blown away by this one!! My butt was glued to my reading chair, and I could not wait to turn each page to find out the next twist, and believe me, there were many. April and Eddie just got married and they are on their way to a small resort town to relax and spend time together. Eddie ends up taking a wrong turn and they end up on this deserted road. They notice a young girl on the side of the road and decide to ask if she needs help. The girl at first says no but eventually agrees to get in. Once driving again, April notices the young girl is badly hurt with a stab wound, and all of a sudden a truck starts following them. They drive faster and faster to avoid the truck and to get the girl to the hospital. When they hear the news that the girl died they are very upset. However, their luck just got worse, because their car had the dead girl's blood all over it, and the local police believe they killed her.
Simone St. James is one of my favorite thriller authors. I can always count on her books to grip me from the first page, and MURDER ROAD does just that. I read this one in two days and it did not disappoint! She explores themes of racism and PTSD while delivering a spooky non-stop mystery. I really enjoyed some of the side characters like Rose Jones’s quirky character and the amateur detective duo of the teenage Snell sisters.
This book was an amazing read for me and it is going to be hard to find a book to compare. I really enjoyed the ride! Pun intended.
A young couple find themselves haunted by a string of gruesome murders committed along an old deserted road in this terrifying new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Cold Cases.
July 1995. April and Eddie have taken a wrong turn. They’re looking for the small resort town where they plan to spend their honeymoon. When they spot what appears to a lone hitchhiker along the deserted road, they stop to help. But not long after the hitchiker gets into their car, they see the blood seeping from her jacket and a truck barreling down Atticus Line after them.
When the hitchhiker dies at the local hospital, April and Eddie find themselves in the crosshairs of the Coldlake Falls police. Unexplained murders have been happening along Atticus Line for years and the cops finally have two witnesses who easily become their only suspects. As April and Eddie start to dig into the history of the town and that horrible stretch of road to clear their names, they soon learn that there is something supernatural at work, something that could not only tear the town and its dark secrets apart, but take April and Eddie down with it all.
