Winning Reviews for DEAD GIRL RUNNING

 

“Dead Girl Running is the perfect book for fans of The Girl on the Train.”–Parade Magazine

“Complex, intense, and engrossing, this riveting romantic thriller has a chilling gothic touch and just enough red herrings and twists to keep readers on edge.“—Library Journal *starred* review for DEAD GIRL RUNNING 

This murder mystery is the perfect pairing for a glass of wine and a kid-free night.— Working Mother Magazine

“You can always count on the ingenious mind of Christina Dodd to deliver fascinating, unusual & highly intriguing stories.”—RT Book Reviews Top Pick for DEAD GIRL RUNNING 

“If you’re still obsessing over Girl on the Train, Dodd’s new release will be your new addiction.”–Brit+Co Magazine about DEAD GIRL RUNNING 

“Readers who enjoy Nora Roberts will devour Dodd’s electrifying novels.” -Jayne Ann Krentz, New York Times bestselling author about DEAD GIRL RUNNING 

“Disgruntled employees, picky guests, unreliable vendors—Kellen Adams, assistant manager of the Yearning Sands resort, can handle any of those issues without breaking a sweat, but a corpse is something different. … No one does high-stakes, high-voltage suspense quite like Dodd, and her latest flawlessly written novel is another guaranteed keep-the-lights-on-late read. From the unforgettable heroine with a past to the incisively etched cast of secondary characters to the brilliantly imaginative plot, Dodd is at her most wildly entertaining, wickedly witty best.” — DEAD GIRL RUNNING *Starred* Review from Booklist, the official magazine for the American Library Association.

“A series of twists and turns lead to a surprising ending…Dodd does a masterly job of maintaining suspense.”—Publishers’Weekly DEAD GIRL RUNNING

A note from Christina Dodd: Not that I object to DEAD GIRL RUNNING being mentioned in the same breath (twice!) as an eye-popping suspense bestseller, but with all due respect to everyone who loved GIRL ON THE TRAIN, I would like to point out that my all characters are likable, even the villains. Maybe especially the villains.

I hope you enjoy DEAD GIRL RUNNING!

Autographing Photos!

Thank you to all the librarians at the American Library Association in Denver for welcoming me so kindly! We chatted, I autographed 72 DEAD GIRL RUNNING advanced reading copies in 45 minutes, and gave out Cape Charade lavender sachets. We ran out of arcs except for the one last display copy. I visited the restroom and when I came back, a woman was standing there lamenting that she’d missed me. One of my team reached for the display copy. The other one said, “Christina Dodd is standing right behind you.” Of course, I hugged that darling woman for making me feel so good and I signed that last copy to her…
Also…bears. Yes, ALA is fun in many different ways!

Here are some of the photos from the signing. (Scroll down for me posing with the giant poster for DEAD GIRL RUNNING.)

 

I hope someday to sign a book for you, too! Just in case, here’s the current autographing schedule, with new events being added every week. There’s no telling where I’ll pop up — or who will be with me! (Hint: JAK and SEP.) You can keep an eye on the website or (better) join my newsletter! I’m incredibly chatty, tell silly jokes, and my big contest is coming up soon. Join!

THE WOMAN WHO COULDN’T SCREAM RT Book Reviews Award Finalist!

RT Book Reviews called THE WOMAN WHO COULDN’T SCREAM, “The payoff Kateri fans have been waiting for!” Now they’ve declared it on of six finalists for their 2017 Award! The review says, in part, “Remarkable storyteller Dodd returns for a new installment in her dangerously thrilling Virtue Falls series. In the previous books of the series, readers were treated to pieces of the amazing evolution of Kateri Kwinault, now the newly elected sheriff of Virtue Falls. This book is the payoff Kateri fans have been waiting for, as Dodd weaves together the story of two women who have faced death and come out stronger and more determined. This book is a fantastic blend of vengeance, mystery, passion and murder!” READ THE WHOLE REVIEW. 

Here’s the whole list of finalists. Warning! Viewing this could ruin your book budget!

THE WOMAN WHO COULDN’T SCREAM is also one of Amazon’s Best Books of 2017, with a Library Journal starred review that called it, “Another stunner.” I’d keep bragging, but you know how modest I am… (Oh, stop laughing!)

My Virgin Podcast!

The Not Boring Book Show asked me to be a guest, it was my first podcast. and I confess, I was nervous. Would I be witty? Intelligent?

Remember important facts…like my name?

It’s definitely not boring! The hosts, Stacy and Angela, are entertaining and funny, they asked great questions, and we ended up cackling about the treehouse, the three-armed cover, and my absolute idiocy when I started writing (I started right after I gave birth to our first daughter, because, “How much trouble can one little baby be?”) We discussed details about how I wrote THE WOMAN WHO COULDN’T SCREAM and they gasped about DEAD GIRL RUNNING (very satisfying for me!) The hosts and I even got serious about my readers and how words and stories bind us and guide us. I hope you enjoy!
