Dancing in the Dark

A Novel

By: Mary Jane Clark

Narrated by: Eliza Foss

New York Times bestselling author Mary Jane Clark turns up the heat in a drop-dead frightening novel about an idyllic beach community turned killer's hunting ground

KEY News correspondent Diane Mayfield has to give up her vacation and bring her children and her sister to the New Jersey shore town of Ocean Grove to investigate a story. "Girls Who Cry Wolf" is the topic for the season premiere of "Hourglass," television's premiere news magazine show. Diane lands an exclusive interview with a troubled young woman whose tale of being abducted and held against her will for three terrifying days and nights had been disbelieved by the authorities. No sooner does Diane finish taping the interview, though, than a second victim turns up: this time bound, gagged, and dead. And as soon as the police think they've solved the case, a third victim is discovered. Already in the grip of a record heat wave, the small beach community is now wracked by fear and terror—there's a murderer on the loose. Diane and the police turn to the first victim for clues. But it may be too late to save Diane and her loved ones from the mortal danger that lurks in Ocean Grove.

Full of twists, turns, and terrifyingly real danger, Dancing in the Dark is Mary Jane Clark's most suspenseful thriller yet.

<p>“A first-rate suspense novel with fine characters and a great plot twist.” —<i>Globe & Mail on Hide Yourself Away</i><br><br>“Knows the ins and outs of a broadcast newsroom and she gives the setting plenty of verisimilitude. A nice mix of mystery and domestic drama.” —<i>Booklist on Hide Yourself Away</i></p>

Great book!

This was not at all boring, i loved the mystery. I’m looking forward to reading more from this author.

Dancing in the dark

I did not enjoy the narrator on audiobooks and I think that took away some of my love for the book. I felt it had a slow start. Thought the story was ok

Great Mystery

The story kept me thinking, the end was a surprise.
