Murder Road by Simone St. James
4.5
This book had me on the edge of my seat multiple times. I struggled to figure out what was going to happen next and how exactly all of these disappearances/murders were connected to the main couple.
April and Eddie are newlyweds going to a resort for their honeymoon, but after a wrong turn they end up picking up a hitchhiker who is bleeding, and end up involved in an investigation where they are the main suspects. As the local police don't really seem to know what is going on either, and April and Eddie are just as confused as they are they start trying to figure out what exactly happened on their own. This brings them to talk to multiple different locals, and learn the backstory of the area they are in which is quite messy and complicated. But the biggest thing that we learn along the way is the secrets that both April and Eddie have been keeping from each other when it comes to their pasts which makes this entire police investigation even messier. These complications made the story far more entertaining and makes you start questioning if maybe they are somehow involved in all of this in some weird drawn-out way.
Overall I did enjoy this book and it kept me guessing the entire time. It wasn't until almost the end that I was able to start piecing it together, and even by that point I was so unsure what was going to happen because of how many times I'd been wrong before when it came to this book.
Having said that, the ending of this book is good and does fit the story and this town.
Highly recommend to all mystery fans.
