But Julianne wasn't thinking about that now.Īll she could see was the fine mist of blood that coated the delicate pendalogues.ĪBOUT 'INTO THE DARK': THE PLACE: Seawings, a beautiful Art Deco home overlooking the sweep of the bay in Midtown-on-Sea. Piper was always complaining that the bottom tier of the chandelier hung too low, especially as she was so tall.

With dozens of antique icicle droplets, it had cost tens of thousands of pounds. The Holdens had bought the original art deco light fitting from a specialist dealer when the hotel had closed down a couple of years ago. I would recommend this book to any thriller fans, as long as you don’t mind jumping timelines! I want to thank Netgalley, Pan Macmillan and Fiona Cummins for allowing me to read this and give my personal thoughts.ĮXCERPT: Fear, a slippery coil of it, tightened in Julianne's stomach. It feels like this story isn’t over and it definitely left me wanting more! I think the authors previous book just left such a high bar for me that it would never have been met!

However, if another book was published with his character I would definitely read it to see if I could gather more insight. I couldn’t see anything special in DS Anguish, if anything he gives me really bad vibes. I struggled to follow the jumping timeline occasionally and didn’t connect with any of the characters. That being said, I absolutely loved the setting of this one and some of the twists were definitely able to blow me away. I know I am being nit-picky, but it felt like it was thrown in for kudos without actually researching what the word means, which did really bug me. There was also a word thrown in that was completely misused.

But it does affect my enjoyment a little. I want to make it very clear that it is not a specific issue with this book, I see it in many books and TV shows. Often I notice small issues, like within this book, of things that don’t ring true in real life. What happened to the family? Where are they?Įver since I started studying Forensic Psychology academically with the hopes of going into it as a career, I’ve really struggled with thrillers (which used to be my favourite genre). DS Saul Anguish has just moved to the area and has some secrets of his own. Into the Dark follows the aftermath of the Holden family going missing. Unfortunately, this one didn’t quite live up to my expectations. Rounded down from roughly 3.5 stars ⭐️ I absolutely loved the first book I read by this author, it’s one of my favourite thrillers ever.
