Shadows on the Road is a haunting murder mystery set on the fog-bound coast of Maine, where every turn of the wheel carries the weight of fear.
When cyclists begin to die on Havenport’s back roads, Detective Claire Sandoval finds herself unraveling a pattern that feels both calculated and personal. The victims are connected by more than broken spokes and blood on the asphalt. Whispers of a ghost rider drift through town, blurring the line between legend and reality, and suspicion falls on outsiders and neighbors alike.
Nessa Greene, the reclusive artist obsessed with death, knows more than she should. Marissa Lane, once a celebrated cyclist, is consumed by bitterness and secrets she refuses to share. As Claire and journalist Liam Harper dig deeper, every revelation points to fractures in the community that run far deeper than the murders themselves.
In Havenport, trust is fragile, fear is rising, and the killer is always just out of sight. The road does not forgive, and neither do the shadows that move along it.
Perfect for fans of psychological suspense and atmospheric thrillers, Shadows on the Road explores obsession, resentment, and the danger of what is left unsaid.
It started off super strong, and when I say it kept my attention, I mean it!
The pacing was absolutely fantastic, not too fast or too slow. We get just enough information about what’s going on so we can draw our own conclusions and make our own guess. There was also lots of tension, and eerie vibes.
The way things are described was absolutely fantastic! It painted the picture perfectly!
Though I will say, I clocked the “who did it” from the jump which is a bit disappointing. Even so I still enjoyed the over all reading experience!
It definitely was a good chilly mystery read! Also pretty unique in the fact I haven’t seen any murder/mystery books centered around cycling yet!
