The Grapevine: A Lost Highway Thriller (Lost Highway Thrillers #1)

Review Quotes:

"Who you know: Agatha Christie, Gillian Flynn, Mary Higgins Clark. Who you should be reading: Alexandra Sokoloff."

"Not one to be pinned down with one genre, she is quite simply amazing...If you're looking for something to take your mind off of the current climate (literal and figurative) around you, you should definitely seek out one of Sokoloff's titles."

"Some of the most original and freshly unnerving work in the genre."

"Readers looking for something new and original in the horror/thriller genres should be reading Alexandra Sokoloff. The mix of intense situations and suspense...make her books the ultimate in late-night reading!"

"Raw, wrenching, and totally compelling--The Grapevine hooked me from start to end."

"Exceptionally talented...This is truly difficult to put down."

"Robertson is a master storyteller."

"As is the case with the best writers, Sokoloff shows rather than tells, letting the subtle but explosive interaction among her characters propel her narrative."

"Alexandra Sokoloff's talent brings readers into the dark and encompassing world of the unknown so completely that readers will find it difficult to go to bed until the last page has been turned."
