We've been waiting a while for Dani and Diesel's story, and we finally have it, in Into the Dark - the 23rd in Karen Rose's romantic suspense series. The book contains an appearance of the 1957 children's novel David and the Phoenix by Edward Ormondroyd, a book of which Weber is a fan. Included in the box are no less than 8 big sprues of chunky plastic. There are 4 different sprues, each of which is included twice. 6 sprues contain walls, columns and doors, and 2 sprues contain the accessories like pipes, generators and control panels, as well as scatter terrain. The details are not as sharp as on regular models, as usual with Games Workshop terrain kits, I suspect that the manufacturing was outsourced to China. Still, the level of detail is more than adequate for terrain, and the scatter terrain sprue will be very popular, as it is excellent for embellishing all kinds of terrain. Not all that odd except that - the coffee is still hot, the toast is on the counter, the families phones are charging on the counter, school bags are ready to go and there is not a soul in sight. The Holden family have seemingly disappeared without a trace…

That being said, I absolutely loved the setting of this one and some of the twists were definitely able to blow me away. I struggled to follow the jumping timeline occasionally and didn’t connect with any of the characters. I couldn’t see anything special in DS Anguish, if anything he gives me really bad vibes. However, if another book was published with his character I would definitely read it to see if I could gather more insight. 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! Into the Dark starts off quite innocuously. It's like, 'there's nothing to see here folks that you haven't already seen in a hundred other domestic dramas/psychological thrillers' until it's not. The shift is infinitesimal. There's a change in the feel to the writing, it's subtly darker. Then the worms start crawling out of the woodwork, and all hell breaks loose.Her debut suspense novel, DON'T TELL, was released in July, 2003. Since then, she has published fifteen more novels and two novellas. Her seventeenth novel, ALONE IN THE DARK, will be released in 2016. The story is about a family that disappears and there is evidence of foul play at their house. Have they been kidnapped or murdered. I'm caught up now in Karen Rose's "Cincinnati Series." Whew -- after two in a row of her over-sized books, I'm frazzled by the intensity of the last two books. And once again, totally satisfied and excited for what comes next. But first, I have two more catch-ups in another of Rose's series.

The timeline in this book hops from before the disappearance in each chapter to after the disappearance. As always, there's a generous catch-up with previous characters who make up the "team" of family, friends and work connections. Karen Rose builds the tension, horror and crime solving with unwavering strength and detail. She's not to be outdone in this area of writing skills. Some of the writing in this book was pulling at the heartstrings a bit like an excerpt from DS Anguish’s memory of his mother: And ho boy, that Diesel...who couldn't fall for a man who knits to relieve stress? This is , I think, the first time I have read a book where a man has been knitting and I am so here for it ! In the Into the Dark book, there is an overview of all the parts with a letter and number combination for reference, and I recommend writing these at the bottom of the modules so that you can set up the missions more easily.

Success!

The premise was structured alternatingly in between past and current, from the pre-days before the Holden went missing to the aftermath that was told in multiple perspectives— Piper Holden (wife of the missing family), Julianne Hillier (a best friend and a neighbour to Piper), DC Anguish (the investigation officer) and few other secondary POVs, it was somehow easy to deduce who is the suspect(s) but I was totally engrossed on the crime process and its exploration; the motive(s), who else knows about it, what secret more to reveal and moreover, the DC was such an interesting character to me— his past and obsession were intimidating yet I love his investigative perspective. I wish his interaction with Blue (I love her character, she’s a doctor with narcolepsy condition) towards the case can be more thorough, it was too minimal and not as evocative as I hoped. He’d wanted her to eat nutritious meals, to afford the electricity bill without having to choose between rent or heat, to not barter the secret parts of herself in exchange for dirty notes, touches by lustful fingers. But while she had sometimes attempted to do what he’d asked of her, she’d been unable to resist the siren song of liquid oblivion." There was a lot going on in this book and it all came together really well. Dani and Diesel had so much to work out, we had a mystery trying to be unraveled, the killer's thoughts thrown in giving clues that will keep you guessing. And it all worked so well together and added to the intrigue that had me loving this book. THE CRIME: The gilded Holden family - Piper and Gray and their two teenage children, Riva and Artie - has vanished from the house without a trace.

Published in Australia this week.it is out now. Thanks to MacMillan Australia for my advanced copy of this book to read.⁣This story held some heartbreaking triggers. When children are involved, crime always seems doubly horrifying. And Michael and his little brother were such marvels. One deaf and the other dependent on his older brother. Their circumstances shredded my heart and their journey to safety enthralling for every single minute. Her novels, I'M WATCHING YOU and SILENT SCREAM, received the Romance Writers of America's RITA award for Best Romantic Suspense for 2005 and 2011. Five of her other books have been RITA finalists. To date, her books have been translated into twenty-four languages.
