AUDIO BOOK REVIEW: Red River Road by Anna Downes


REVIEW: 

Beth takes refuge in Kates van but what is she running from? Kate is on a mission to find her missing sister, Phoebe.  She is using her sisters social media as a map and retracing her steps.  After the initial shock of finding Beth, Kate agrees to take her with her. They form a friendship even though Beth is holding things back. 

There is a lot of mystery and some chapters that dive into Beths past and what she had been doing prior to winding up in Kate's van. With the boom of van lifers and van life instagrams this is a timely and interesting read with a lot of emphasis on how women should be allowed to travel alone and not feel unsafe. There are all these cautions and rules for solo women travelers that men don't have to deal with. 

The ending of this book was a fast pace race with a crazy twist. I loved it. You discover what happened to Phoebe.  Beth and Kate's relationship loses the lies and becomes stronger and Beth gets closure on why she was running.  Definitely worth your time.

SYNOPSIS:
 
Katy Sweeney is looking for her sister. A year earlier, just three weeks into a solo vanlife trip, her free-spirited younger sister, Phoebe, vanished without a trace on the remote, achingly beautiful coastal highway in Western Australia. With no witnesses, no leads, and no DNAevidence, the case has gone cold. But Katy refuses to give up on her.

Using Phoebe’s social media accounts as a map, Katy retraces her sister’s steps, searching for any clues the police may have missed. Was Phoebe being followed? Who had she met along the way, and how dangerous were they?

And then Katy’s path collides with that of Beth, who is on the run from her own dark past. Katy realizes that Beth might be her best—and only—chance of finding the truth, and the two women form an uneasy alliance to find out what really happened to Phoebe in this wild, beautiful, and perilous place
