Many thanks to NetGalley, Penguin Random House Berkley, for gifting me a digital ARC of the new thriller by Simone St. James and allowing me to participate in the blog tour (watch my instagram on 3.13!) - 4.5 creepy stars!
It's the mid-1990s, and April and Eddie are on their honeymoon, heading for a hotel on Lake Michigan. They get lost along the way, and find themselves on a deserted stretch of road when they see a young woman along the side. When she gets in their car, the couple realize that she is badly injured. They drop her off at the local hospital, only to find themselves in the middle of a murder investigation when she dies. Apparently, there have been many deaths and disappearances along this stretch of the road, going back decades with the first disappearance of a woman dubbed The Lost Girl. April and Eddie are intrigued enough to do some investigation on their own - at their own peril.
Typical of St. James' novels, this one is creepy and will keep you scared as you read along! There are a ton of interesting characters here -April and Eddie are both keeping secrets from each other, I loved Rose, the owner of the inn where the couple stays; and the detectives on the case add yet another layer. I liked the book's setting in the 1990s, before everyone was glued to their phones, and investigations were a totally different ballgame. You'll love this scary, creepy book!
