About this ebook

Crime reporter Harper McClain is back on the beat when a troubled musician vanishes in Christi Daugherty’s Revolver Road.

Even in the chill of February, no place touches Harper McClain’s heart like Savannah. She should be walking beneath the historic city’s towering oaks, surrounded by graceful mansions. Instead, she’s hiding miles away on Tybee Island after a mysterious voice on the phone warned her that someone wanted her dead. The call was too specific to ignore. The caller knew everything about her. But that was months ago, and she’s getting tired of being scared.

Her only escape is her work at the newspaper, where the hottest story in town is the disappearance of Xavier Rayne. The singer had a hit album on his hands, and was about to go on tour, but then he walked out of his beachfront home and vanished. The police believe he drowned, but Harper suspects his disappearance may be more ominous than that. Something doesn’t feel right about it.

His bandmates and actress girlfriend say he’s run away before. They expect him to come home. Until a body washes up with two bullet holes in it. Now everyone in Rayne’s life is a suspect. As Harper digs deeper into the case, though, the threats against her own life return. The phone call she received was very real. A killer from her past is coming for her.

Now she must solve two murders, or end up dying on Revolver Road…

    This mystery series is one of my favorites! I've been looking forward to this book every since finishing the second book - and I will be impatiently waiting and hoping for more of Harper in future books! There is just something about the Savannah setting that draws me in and then the mysteries just don't let me go! I do think that this is a series best read in order (there are only three books so far) because there are threads that started in the first book that play a very important role in this book. Also, maybe skip the Goodread's summary if you haven't yet read those earlier books. I found this book just as suspenseful as the previous two books which meant I found myself reading it as fast as I possibly could. At the risk of sounding slightly spoiler-ey I will say that we get a lot of answers in this book which I couldn't help but appreciate! Besides the mystery aspect, one of my favorite things about this series is the portrayal of Harper's job and what it's like to work at a newspaper in this day and age. I always find it interesting and realistic to see the struggles that the newspaper faces and feel like that aspect really makes this series stand out among other mystery series. The characters are great as well - and at this point I will read anything and everything that this author writes! But please tell me that will be more of Harper McClain because I'm nowhere near ready to see this series end. I think that you would enjoy this series if you are a fan of mysteries in general, are looking for something a bit different from your typical police procedural read, and also love a mystery with a setting that is brought to life in each book. I highly recommend ALL of the books in this series - book one is The Echo Killing if you are interested and haven't had the opportunity to check it out yet!Bottom Line: Another standout addition to one of my very favorite mystery series!Disclosure: I received a copy of this book thanks to the publisher. Honest thoughts are my own.

    This is the third book in a series and I could tell that I was missing things. But the story pulled me in and didn't let me go until I reached the last page. Harper McClain is hiding from some sort of murder threat when the story begins. She has left her home in Savannah to hide on nearby Tybee Island. She isn't eating or sleeping well. As a newspaper reporter, her work is her only refuge. But with constant threats of shutting down the newspaper by its owner, work isn't a secure spot for her. Her latest story revolves around the disappearance of and up and coming singer named Xavier Rayne who disappeared from his home on Tybee Island leaving behind his girlfriend Cara, bandmate Hunter, and back-up singer Allegra who become suspects in his murder when his body is found by a fishing boat. As she gets closer to the survivors, she begins to see that something is going on and they are all lying to her.However, the biggest thing on her mind is the threat that someone wants her dead and that it has to do with the murder of her mother when she was twelve. She and her father are estranged but she didn't know that he was the lawyer for a noted criminal who just got out of prison after serving seventeen years of a twenty year sentence and has revenge on his mind. Add in the complication of a doomed relationship with a homicide detective which is messing up her personal life and you have a young woman almost buried under the stresses of her life. I really liked Harper McClain. She has a strong sense of what she wants to do with her life and a strong need to find answers both to the mystery of her past and the murder of Xavier Rayne too.Fans of high tension thrillers will enjoy this story.
