8.28.2024 - Red River Road

Red River Road by Anna Downes 

Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press Minotaur Books, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the new book by Anna Downes and perfectly narrated by Maddy Withington.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!

Katy is looking for her sister, Phoebe.  A year ago, Phoebe vanished without a trace while on a solo van life trip along the coast of Western Australia.  Using Phoebe's social media as a map, Katy retraces her steps, looking for clues.  She meets Beth, who is on the run, and realizes that Beth may help her find the truth.  

Whew - this is a great thriller but be patient with it, because all is not what is seems!  Told from the POV of Katy, Beth, and Wyatt, along with social media posts, Downes leads you down a twisty path.  A look into the dark side of solo female travel, you won't know who you can trust or believe.  It's creepy, especially Wyatt's story, and will leave you guessing for sure.  Loved the Australian setting!
