Book: Murder Road

 Book: Murder Road

Author: Simone St. James

Pages: 352

This is my 87th read for the year

This is the story of April and Eddie.  It is 1995 and they are on their way to their honeymoon when they take a wrong turn.  They come face to face with an injured girl who was along the road  They drive her to the hospital, but because they are unknown and covered with her blood, they are under suspicion for the crime.  They aren't arrested but told not to leave town until the investigation clears them.  While in town, April and Eddie get involved with trying to solve the murder themselves which uncovers a long history with this town and murders along a certain road.  

This was an okay book.  This isn't my first St. James book and while a bit better than the last, still not great.  I do blame some of it on the fact that I listened to this one and the narrator wasn't great.  The story was interesting enough - I liked the mystery they were trying to solve.  And it has a supernatural element which was interesting.  Characters were fine - I liked Rose and the Snell sister characters in this book the best (side characters who lived in the town).
