About this audiobook
Writer's apprentice Lena London is back and better than ever when her friend, bestselling suspense novelist Camilla Graham, needs help solving a town murder that hits a little too close to home . . .
It's summertime, and Lena and Camilla are busy working away while a town vandal runs amok.

When Jane Wyland is later found dead, they're convinced that whatever secret she was planning to expose led to her death. With Lena's assistance, Camilla is determined to solve the case before the finger points at her . . .

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great series but this book is a bit meloncholy. Still recommended though.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love this series as mentioned in my review of the third novel in the Writer's Apprentice Mystery Series but sometimes a series is so wonderful to read that you just want to say it again and again!
In the previous novels of the series, there have been a few sentences at the beginning of each chapter from the new writing collaboration by Camilla and Lena. It's been absolutely amazing how the few sentences as the lead italicized heading of each chapter also seem to simultaneously reflect the day-to-day adventures of Lena and Camilla as they write mysteries there is also a real life mystery to solve. In "Death Waits in the Dark" there are again a few sentences at the beginning of each chapter but this time they are "from the correspondence of James Graham and Camilla Easton, 1971," prior to Camilla's arrival in the United States to become the bride of James Graham. There is definitely a real-life mystery to solve and with each passing day Camilla and Lena become more dependent on the old letters to provide the clues to solve the mystery and return their lives to "normal."
Author Julia Buckley also provides a special surprise to delight not only her beloved main characters of this series but especially for her pet loving readers.
I've pre-ordered Mystery 5, "Death with a Dark Rose" in Mass Market Paperback due February 25, 2020. Have you? If you can't wait, it is available on the Kindle now. I still like to read paperbacks so I'm going to consider it a Valentine to myself in February. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Lena London and Camilla Graham are working on their latest book when Camilla gets a visit from Jane Wyland, someone she and her late husband knew years ago. But this isn’t a friendly visit – Jane insists Camilla revel her late husband’s secret but Camilla says she has no idea what Jane is talking about. However, before Camilla can find out, Jane is murdered. Lena and Camilla decide to investigate the murder and find out the secret Jane referred to but doing so will put them both in very real danger.“Death Waits in the Dark” is the delightfully done fourth book in Julia Buckley’s Writer’s Apprentice Mystery series. I love everything about this series – the characters, the setting, Lena’s job (I want her job!), and especially the atmosphere. There is a wonderful gothic feeling about this series that Buckley does so well. It is especially well done in this book as Lena starts being mistrustful of everyone – so believably done by Buckley. The mystery itself is well done – I loved reading the book as Lena and Camilla investigated past events – Camilla’s husband may be dead but he came to life as a character in this book. There is plenty of suspense in this book especially as Lena and Camilla come closer to the truth. The identity of the killer came as a surprise to me which is exactly what I want when I read this type of mystery.I enjoyed “Death Waits in the Dark” so much, I almost reread it right after I finished reading it! Well done!
