Summary
From bestselling authors Alexandra Sokoloff and Craig Robertson, The Grapevine is a thrilling mystery featuring a quirky and relentless female protagonist, perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn and Karin Slaughter.
How far would you go to find your missing child?
Lou Gomersall’s going as far as it takes. And there’s no turning back.
When her nineteen-year-old daughter Abby disappears, Lou embarks on a reckless road trip in the family RV, scouring the highways and back roads of California. Through desert and mountains, into the woods, and to the ocean’s edge.
A year later, the police don’t believe Lou’s theory that four other missing young women have been taken by the same elusive predator. So, when another college sophomore vanishes, Lou jumps on the fresh trail, enlisting millennial #vanlifers, Gen Z entrepreneurs, boomer RVers, homeless sages, truck stop prostitutes, and everyone in between in her do-or-die mission to rescue Abby …
Or kill the man who took her.

“Raw, wrenching, and totally compelling—The Grapevine hooked me from start to end.”
“Some of the most original and freshly unnerving work in the genre.”
“Exceptionally talented…This is truly difficult to put down.”
“Robertson is a master storyteller.”
“As is the case with the best writers, Sokoloff shows rather than tells, letting the subtle but explosive interaction among her characters propel her narrative.”
“Who you know: Agatha Christie, Gillian Flynn, Mary Higgins Clark. Who you should be reading: Alexandra Sokoloff.”
“Not one to be pinned down with one genre, she is quite simply amazing…If you’re looking for something to take your mind off of the current climate (literal and figurative) around you, you should definitely seek out one of Sokoloff’s titles.”
“Readers looking for something new and original in the horror/thriller genres should be reading Alexandra Sokoloff. The mix of intense situations and suspense…make her books the ultimate in late-night reading!”
“Alexandra Sokoloff’s talent brings readers into the dark and encompassing world of the unknown so completely that readers will find it difficult to go to bed until the last page has been turned.”
“A California road trip, a missing persons search, and a protagonist full of heart, hope, and sass combine to make for a unique and thrilling mystery. I raced through The Grapevine faster than an RV on the open road. I love Lou Gomersall. She may just be my new favorite series character.”
“The plot is compelling, and the scenes involving the RV are particularly suspenseful. Fans of Karin Slaughter’s Pretty Girls will enjoy this first book in a new series.”
“Right from the first page, readers will be compelled to follow bull-headed and strangely loveable Lou Gomersall on a one-woman (plus one) quest to solve the mystery of her nineteen-year-old daughter’s disappearance a year ago…I can’t wait to see what Sokoloff and Robertson have in store for Lou and friends in this fantastic new series that’s packed with psychological thrills and propulsive momentum.”
