What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

April and Eddie have taken a wrong turn.

They're on a long dark road, late at night, and they see a woman up ahead, clearly in trouble.

They stop and pick her up. It's only once she's in the car that they see the blood.

And then they see the headlights, and at last, the woman speaks, her voice faint. "I'm sorry, he's coming."

Ingeniously plotted and heartstoppingly terrifying, are you ready to uncover the secret of Murder Road?

Critics Review

Simone St. James is known for brilliantly mixing thriller elements with supernatural mayhem, and MURDER ROAD, her most recent novel, offers readers plenty of both… Fast, chilling, entertaining, unexpectedly touching, and with two broken, memorable characters at its core, this might be St. James’s best novel yet

The New York Times

As creepy and unsettling as a rain-faded wreath and teddy bear found by the side of the road to mark a missing person, Murder Road lingers like a ghost long after it’s finished.

Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of How to Sell a Haunted House

From its terrifying opening to its jaw-dropping conclusion, this thriller has it all—small-town secrets, ominous dark deeds after midnight, and a young couple desperate to learn the truth before it costs them their very lives. You will follow this shocking road to its climactic end!

Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Still See You Everywhere

New York Times Book Review

Genuinely creepy. I’m very hard to scare but Murder Road sent shivers down my spine.

Mark Edwards, bestselling author of Here to Stay

Creepy and hugely fun, a fast and sinister romp of a road trip gone wrong

Lauren Beukes, internationally bestselling author of The Shining Girls

From its nerve-shredding start to its thrilling end, MURDER ROAD steers the reader down creepy backroads, past urban legends so vivid you’d swear they were true, and into the marriage of two damaged souls you can’t help but root for. Part love story, part campfire tale, it’s a trip well worth taking

Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of The Only One Left

There may be a chilling supernatural element at the heart of Murder Road, but it’s the unforgettable main characters that will pull you in: damaged survivors who find salvation in each other, beautifully drawn. Once you start reading you won’t be able to put it down. I know I couldn’t

Alma Katsu, author of The Fervor

Murder Road serves up the kind of tension that sends chills racing over your skin as you furiously turn the pages, desperate to uncover the secrets of Coldlake Falls. An exhilarating, haunting ride from start to finish

Isabel Cañas, USA Today bestselling author of Vampires of El Norte

Murder Road hits the gas and doesn’t let up! Full of secrets, twists, and turns. Simone St. James takes you on a supernatural road trip you are unlikely to forget
