The Dark Room

Written by Lisa Gray

Narrated by Michael Orenstein

All’s fair in love and revenge in this taut thriller from bestselling author Lisa Gray.

Ex–crime reporter Leonard Blaylock spends his days on an unusual hobby, developing strangers’ forgotten and discarded rolls of film. He loves the small mysteries the photographs reveal to him. Then Leonard finds something no one would ever expect, or want, to see captured on film—the murder of a young woman.

But that’s impossible, because the woman is already dead. Leonard was there when it happened five years earlier.

He has never been able to shake his guilt from that terrible night. It cost Leonard everything: his career, his fiancée, his future. But if the woman didn’t really die, then what actually happened?

Great story lines with twists & turns and an unexpected ending.

Really enjoyed this book! The story was captains well told from many different angles. The narrator also did a good job! I highly recommend a listen! Really loved the amateur sleuth angle ?

It's an enthralling story from the first page until the very last one. Jane is suffering from an amnesia after an assumed suicide attempt. She is staying at a privat clinic whereas outside the incidents are in a turmoil. The police is believing that Jane is responsible for all murders which have taken place in the long and short past and they are trying hard to find enough evidences to convict Jane for all those dark doings. While Jane's doctor is trying to protect her from everybody she runs into mischief because she is trusting in her own kinship and those of her friends and can't see the danger.It also kept me guessing until the very end if Jane would find her new love in her doctor.

This is one of her best books. I still dont know who did it but it was well worth the suspense. Jinx is a character you learn to love through the twists and turns of the book, the unexpected villian leaves you plainly horrified. Having read Scolds Bridle this can however only come second. A tret for Minette walters fans

[seldombites · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The Dark Room was a fairly average read, despite being fairly well written. While there were a few intriguing twists and the culprit was totally unexpected, this book was not as thrilling as it should have been. The characters seem rather cliched and most aspects of the plot are predictable. This is OK to read once, but I wouldn't go back for seconds.

Minette Walters is a very talented author, and her psychological thrillers cannot be beat for sheer terror and for audacity. She thinks nothing of leaving her readers way out in cold exploring motives and means, and then brings in the murderer somewhere from out in left field. This book is like that in spades. The characters in this book are truly intriguing. First there is Jinx Kingsley. She appears to be a suicide survivor with amnesia who has a reason and the wherewithal to kill. Then there is her father Adam who everyone knows is connected and would stoop at nothing to help those he loves. Jinx has two wastrel brothers who could be in the frame as well. I love the way these characters are developed, and the way that I learned to care for Jinx and to hope for the best for her when and if her memory ever came back. These books explore the darkest corners of the mind and I just can't stop turning pages.
