Summary

The outstanding thriller from New York Times best seller Erica Spindler.

Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter and Karen Rose, Erica Spindler is master of classic crime fiction and the twist you won't see coming.

Alex Owens knows very little about her childhood or who she really is - her only family an absent, emotionally fragile mother. Alex has always felt something was missing and has spent most of her life searching for what that could be.

When an infant's remains are unearthed, Alex realises she has a connection to the case. Suddenly long-lost memories start flooding in, leading her back to a small town in California and to dark and terrifying nightmares that haunt her every waking moment.

Greeted with silence and suspicion, Alex is determined to get to the heart of a secret no one wants to see uncovered. As violent deaths and a series of pagan rituals terrify the tightly-knit community, Alex is forced to confront the terrible truth about a single night that changed her family's lives for ever....

Slightly soapy thriller

What did you like best about Blood Vines? What did you like least?

The story is fast-paced and suspenseful, but the characters, including the protagonist, are a bit one-dimensional and some of the plot twists are not very credible.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The most interesting thing is the murder mystery at the centre of the story, the least interesting to me was the love story.

Which character – as performed by Jennifer Woodward – was your favourite?

None of the characters really stood out to me.

If this book were a film would you go see it?

Quite possibly.

american crime mystery

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

was put off by the American accent (I know that sounds daft with it being set in America) but easy to listen to if slightly predictable

Would you be willing to try another book from Erica Spindler? Why or why not?

yes but not my first choice
