On the morning of April 29, 1986, a fire alarm sounded in the Los Angeles Public Library. As the moments passed, the patrons and staff who had cleared out of the building realized this was not the usual false alarm. As one fireman recounted later, “Once that first stack got going, it was good-bye, Charlie.” The fire was disastrous: It reached 2,000 degrees and burned for more than seven hours. By the time it was extinguished, it had consumed 400,000 books and damaged 700,000 more.

Fascinating story; Unfortunate narration
Revisado: 02-13-19
This audiobook unfortunately suffers from unpolished narration by the author. Although hard to imagine an author bored of her own material, it seems so at certain points of the book. I'm glad I powered through. It is really well researched and presents a breadth of perspectives surrounding the library. At points, little gems and love letters to libraries that all book lovers will appreciate appear.

Libby Day was seven when her mother and two sisters were murdered in "The Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas". As her family lay dying, little Libby fled their tiny farmhouse into the freezing January snow. She lost some fingers and toes, but she survived, and famously testified that her 15-year-old brother, Ben, was the killer. Twenty-five years later, Ben sits in prison, and troubled Libby lives off the dregs of a trust created by well-wishers who've long forgotten her.

Couldn't Stop Listening!

What did you love best about Dark Places?
I couldn't put this down. Flynn is a master of creating cycles of images and weaving a suspense that leaves you guessing until the very end.
What other book might you compare Dark Places to and why?
Flynn is hard to compare to other authors. Her ability to touch the dark places of the human condition is unique.
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I enjoyed how each perspective in the audio book version had a unique narrator.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Gripping at my phone with suspense?
