Bookseller recommendation

“Dark Roads is dark, it is disturbing, and it is very, very entertaining. The mysterious prologue will give you a clue as to how dark it is. It shows us some of the worst of human nature. Disturbing because it is based in part on a highway in Canada where women (most of whom were First Nation) have gone missing with no resolution of their cases. Entertaining because the characters are so compelling, they force you to keep listening and listening and listening. Hailey is a remarkably strong young women whose ability to survive in the wilderness is truly a gift from her beloved father. Beth’s character really evolves in the book from a young woman with no purpose in life, who feels sorry for herself and can’t stand being controlled by her parents into someone with a purpose – find out who murdered her sister Amber in the small town of Cold Creek along the Canadian highway that has claimed many women over the years. Johnny is almost too good to be true – but thank heavens he stays true to himself. And, then there is Wolf – the best dog a woman could ever have. Chevy Stevens is at her best in this thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat through the entire book.”

About the author
About the narrator

“Chevy Stevens is a brilliant and unique talent and Dark Roads is an instant classic. My hat’s off to her.” — C. J. Box, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Long Range

"Dark Roads is an entertaining thriller whether you read it or listen to it!" - Toronto.com

The Cold Creek Highway stretches close to five hundred miles through British Columbia’s rugged wilderness to the west coast. Isolated and vast, it has become a prime hunting ground for predators. For decades, young women traveling the road have gone missing. Motorists and hitchhikers, those passing through or living in one of the small towns scattered along the region, have fallen prey time and again. And no killer or abductor who has stalked the highway has ever been brought to justice.

Hailey McBride calls Cold Creek home. Her father taught her to respect nature, how to live and survive off the land, and to never travel the highway alone. Now he’s gone, leaving her a teenage orphan in the care of her aunt whose police officer husband uses his badge as a means to bully and control Hailey. Overwhelmed by grief and forbidden to work, socialize, or date, Hailey vanishes into the mountainous terrain, hoping everyone will believe she’s left town. Rumors spread that she was taken by the highway killer—who’s claimed another victim over the summer.

One year later, Beth Chevalier arrives in Cold Creek, where her sister Amber lived—and where she was murdered. Estranged from her parents and seeking closure, Beth takes a waitressing job at the local diner, just as Amber did, desperate to understand what happened to her and why. But Beth’s search for answers puts a target on her back—and threatens to reveal the truth behind Hailey’s disappearance…

"Dark Roads is a chilling, pulse-pounding thriller that also tugs at the heartstrings. It's everything you've come to love from a master of the psych thriller genre!" -- Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of The Other Mrs.

"My favorite Chevy Stevens book since Still Missing. Stevens reliably creates complex, resilient female characters, and Hailey and Beth - whose lives collide in Dark Roads - are utterly compelling. The suspense builds with every page, and the ending is a complete shocker." -- Sarah Pekkanen, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of The Wife Between Us
