INNOCENCE ROAD

Laura Griffin

New series! Detective Leanne Everhart thought she had left her hometown for good, but the dual obligations of her father's sudden death and her brother's drug addiction have compelled her return. When a nameless Latina woman is found dead on the edge of town, Leanne throws herself into finding the killer, only to find her investigation impeded by her colleagues. The boys club she works with is more focused on the recent news of a wrongful conviction in the long-ago murder case of a rich, white teenager. At the helm of the investigation was local hero and law enforcement legend, Leanne's own father. Plagued by her father's mistakes, Leanne pursues both cases, untangling an interconnected web of clues and crimes. Despite her disillusionment, she is desperate to break old cycles and determined to see justice served.

Comments

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.

An engaging heroine and a nicely complex mystery. This stand-alone will appeal to readers of Linda Castillo and Allison Brennan.

This is an edge-of-the-seat read that's not for the faint of heart.

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.
