Resumen del Editor

"Chevy Stevens is a brilliant and unique talent and Dark Roads is an instant classic. My hat’s off to her." (C. J. Box, number one New York Times best-selling author of Long Range)

The Cold Creek Highway stretches close to five hundred miles through British Columbia’s rugged wilderness to the west coast. Isolated and vast, it has become a prime hunting ground for predators. For decades, young women traveling the road have gone missing. Motorists and hitchhikers, those passing through or living in one of the small towns scattered along the region, have fallen prey time and again. And no killer or abductor who has stalked the highway has ever been brought to justice.

Hailey McBride calls Cold Creek home. Her father taught her to respect nature, how to live and survive off the land, and to never travel the highway alone. Now he’s gone, leaving her a teenage orphan in the care of her aunt whose police officer husband uses his badge as a means to bully and control Hailey. Overwhelmed by grief and forbidden to work, socialize, or date, Hailey vanishes into the mountainous terrain, hoping everyone will believe she’s left town. Rumors spread that she was taken by the highway killer - who’s claimed another victim over the summer.

One year later, Beth Chevalier arrives in Cold Creek, where her sister Amber lived - and where she was murdered. Estranged from her parents and seeking closure, Beth takes a waitressing job at the local diner, just as Amber did, desperate to understand what happened to her and why. But Beth’s search for answers puts a target on her back - and threatens to reveal the truth behind Hailey’s disappearance....

"Dark Roads is a chilling, pulse-pounding thriller that also tugs at the heartstrings. It's everything you've come to love from a master of the psych thriller genre!" (Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of The Other Mrs.)

"My favorite Chevy Stevens book since Still Missing. Stevens reliably creates complex, resilient female characters, and Hailey and Beth - whose lives collide in Dark Roads - are utterly compelling. The suspense builds with every page, and the ending is a complete shocker." (Sarah Pekkanen, number one New York Times best-selling Author of The Wife Between Us)

Great book

I couldn’t turn this one off - finished in 24 hours and ignored everything else I was supposed to be doing. This is well written...and just a really great book.

Accurate Depiction of the unknown

New and different was Nora , afraid were the neighbors because she touched on reality. Interesting stories that grasped the time and the small minds of those types at the time. Loved her cheery cheesy ways and how she prevailed. It was a good ending a little textbook but upbeat and not depressing for a change.

Wow! What a twist.

If you are looking for a great read look no further. I thought I had this story all figured out and wham there comes a twist. Such a great book.

Beautiful and Tragic.

Loved it. Wonderfully written. Chevy Stevens can always be counted on to deliver an awesome piece of literature.

CREDIT WORTHY

Very good listen. Enjoyed it very much with a surprise ending. I will be looking for more Chevy Stevens to listen to.

Phenomenal

I loved reading this book in its physical form and listening to it is just as wonderful. The story of The Highway of Tears is often over looked and while Chevy honored the truth but fictionalizing the story here I well up with tears every time I hear the ending. Truly an amazing book ♥️

Masterpiece

This is a masterpiece. Chevy Stevens’ is a brilliant writer and this is her best book yet.

The narrator’s did an excellent job.

I cannot recommend this book enough. The only suggestion I have is that you don’t read the full description. Part of what is revealed in the second paragraph doesn’t happen until nearly halfway through the book. I’d rather have had that been unexpected.

Worth every credit.

Unforgettable

I gobbled this book up in a day. It's one of those outstanding masterpieces that fall into the unforgettable, exceptional in all ways. Great characters, human examination, bravery and live.

a true twister

i can usually catch the killer before the midway point...here was three last chapter as the killer was picking up his last victim.....fantastic read.

loved it

it was a page Turner! I kept me on the no edge of my seat... I actually yelled out loud a few times! I have found a new writer and I can't wait to dive into another one of her books!
