What They're Saying
Critics Review
“High-tension suspense that feels urgently of the moment. This saga crackles with border politics, racism, sexism and corruption.”—People
“Innocence Road puts generational trauma and buried secrets front and center with a twisty plot and big surprises. A story that asks if justice is really for all that will stay with readers long after the final page.”—Vanessa Lillie, bestselling author of Blood Sisters
“On some roads, innocence isn’t easy to come by. When no one seems to care about the nameless, apparently friendless women who have been murdered and left by the side of the desolate desert road, Detective Leanne Everhart steps in to uncover the truth – and unearths more than she bargained for. Full of tragic secrets, family drama, and harrowing twists, Laura Griffin’s suspenseful, insightful novels never disappoint.”—New York Times bestselling author Juliet Blackwell
“Gripping…Griffin’s evocative sense of place captures the minutiae of small-town life…Innocence Road maps a strong plot buoyed by powerful characters like Leanne, whose tenacious personality enhances her skills as an investigator.”—Shelf Awareness
“…this atmospheric page-turner starring a complex detective is engrossing enough to deserve a sequel.”—Publishers Weekly
“This is an edge-of-the-seat read that’s not for the faint of heart.”—First Clue
“An engaging heroine and a nicely complex mystery. This stand-alone will appeal to readers of Linda Castillo and Allison Brennan.”—Library Journal
“…An intense, page-turning story.”—Red Carpet Crash
“Innocence Road is a fast-paced, unputdownable mystery that grabs the reader from the first pages. Leanne is a fully developed character — strong, dedicated, angry, filled with self-doubt — and you can’t help but hope Griffin will start another series centered around Leanne.—The Denver Post
