A Certain Darkness

Written by Anna Lee Huber

Narrated by Heather Wilds

The 1920s are off to an intriguing start in USA Today bestselling author Anna Lee Huber's thrilling mystery series featuring former Secret Service agent Verity Kent. For even as a new decade dawns, the shadow of The Great War persists . . .

March 1920: Life has turned unsettlingly quiet for former British Intelligence agent Verity Kent and her husband, Sidney. But even that false calm is about to end. As threats remain, the French authorities soon request Sidney's help with a suspect who claims to have proof of treason-shortly before she is assassinated. And Verity, too, is called to investigate a mystery . . .

The murder of a Belgian lawyer aboard a train seems at first to be a simple case of revenge. But the victim was connected to British Intelligence, and possessed papers detailing the sinking of a gold-laden German ship during the war.

As Verity and Sidney dig deeper, they discover their cases are intertwined-and a lethal adversary persists. Officially, the Great War may be over, but this is a battle of nerves and wits they cannot afford to lose . . .

Reviews for A Certain Darkness

[Angel White · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A Certain Darkness is my first by this author. Thank goodness that cozy mysteries can be read standalone because this is book 6. Yep, I've done it again and found a book that isn't the first one in the series. ?

I really enjoyed this one so I definitely need to go back and read the previous books. While this can be read standalone, I am curious about Verity and Sydney...their history, their relationship and previous adventures.

I love how Verity is portrayed and how her intellect and keen insight is at the forefront of the investigation. There are two mysteries to solve and while there were times it was hard to remember who was with who and what went with what ? it was enjoyable overall and comes together at the end.

This is a good one for both cozy mystery and historical fiction fans.
