I've said this before, but Simone St. James is one of my auto-buy authors.
Hands-down, no question. Murder Road was everything I have come to expect from her and more. Loved it.
Murder Road doesn't take place in a dual timeline like her others. It's 1995, and newlyweds April and Eddie find themselves on a wrong road en route to their honeymoon destination. 
They come to learn the storied and tragic history of Atticus Line and find themselves being investigated for the most recent murder.
This is a thriller with a touch of the supernatural, and Murder Road's "Lost Girl" won't be one to soon forget.
Recommended!
