Reviews

'A well-written, soundly plotted, psychologically acute story' - Marcel Berlins, The Times 'Leigh Russell does a good job of keeping her readers guessing. She also uses a deft hand developing her characters, especially the low-lifes... a good read' - Marj Stuart, San Francisco Book Review 'Road Closed is a gripping, fast-paced read, pulling you in from the very first tense page and keeping you captivated right to the end with its refreshingly compelling and original narrative.' - Sam Millar, New York Journal of Books
