“Stories don’t always end the way they’re supposed to. They don’t always end at all.” Murder Road by Simone St. James
When I first read The Sun Down Motel, I became obsessed with St. James’s writing. They way that she interweaves the mystery/thriller genre with the supernatural is so good! Murder Road unfortunately fell slightly flat for me. April and Eddie are driving to their honeymoon destination when they get caught on a rural road and end up becoming suspects in a murder case. They soon discover that the road they were driving is haunted by “The Lost Girl” and are trying to figure out who she is. This is where I started having some issues with the plot and where the book was going, which I will not share to avoid spoilers. While I am normally captivated by the eerie vibes of most of St. James’s books, this one just didn’t hit the same. Perhaps, it was because I was listening on audio instead of reading a tactile book. I am still very much a fan of the author’s work and will definitely read whatever she puts out next. I would recommend this one if you are light spine tingling chills, but not something that will scare your pants off.
