Dark Places

this was on all accounts disturbing.


This novel is a fascinating murder mystery, but it is so much more than that. It is a wise, evocative character study – a glimpse into the lives of people who are lost and are struggling to find their way in a dangerous world. Some never find a path, some show others a path, and some find refuge – which can be either heaven or hell. But all of these people – for better or worse – matter, and their intertwined lives are a lesson to the reader that even the tiniest action may have huge unintended consequences.
