In the Dark

By: Chris Patchell

Narrated by: Lisa Stathoplos, Corey Gagne

Marissa Rooney stands in her daughter's empty dorm room, a half-used vial of insulin clutched in her trembling hand. Brooke has been missing for days. Her roommate hasn't seen her since that night in the bar. And if Marissa has Brooke's insulin, it means that Brooke does not.

But Marissa isn't alone in her terror. A phantom from her past is lurking in the shadows, waiting in the night, and holding her family captive...in the dark.

Critic reviews

"An edge-of-your-seat suspense novel. It scared the hell out of me. Read it with the lights on!" (Robert Dugoni, Amazon number one and New York Times best-selling author of My Sister's Grave)

Awesome

Brooke has been missing and Marissa has her insulin. This is not a good sign. Brooke has been missing for a few days and no one has any knowledge of her whereabouts. The narrator was very easy to listen to and put the emphasis on certain parts when necessary. I will certainly listen to it again.

Heart pounding!

This one is a heartpounding thrill ride! This has quite a cast of characters that captivated me. I loved all the ups and downs as well as the curves thrown. I look forward to more in this series.

Entertaining...

I've listened to the first two books in the Holt series. The author has talent and I think many readers will love this series. I found the narration average and perhaps would have preferred a single narrator better. Both narrators read with emotion, inflection and tone pitch variations which are required for the listen to be enjoyable in my opinion. However, I didn't feel like the story was enhanced by the narrators which led to my average rating. I would recommend listening to the books in order. I like dark, gritty plots, so believe me when I say that I classify the series on the cozier side than the dark side of things. The profanity and sex are limited. I rated the story as 4 stars because it is very wordy and could benefit from tighter writing. Some of the scenes borderline on boring and predictable which ultimately detract from what would otherwise be a suspenseful plot.

Read it with the lights on? Yes!

In the Dark by: Chris Patchell is book 1 of 2 and is loaded with action and suspense, dark and twisted. A page turner that keeps you engaged and on the edge of your seat. Dual narration by Lisa Stathoplos, Corey Gagne was flawless. Recommended

well worth it

Great book, living in the city where this took place was great. on to the next one
