Publisher's summary

They have been judged. The verdict—guilty. The sentence—death.

Two beautiful young women are found strangled, their bodies meticulously washed and groomed. The only thing they have in common: Both worked as reporters for local TV stations.

A coincidence? Or something more sinister?

Rookie Special Agent Shannon Ames is assigned to the case and soon impresses with her brilliant intuition and startling ability to think outside the box. But as Shannon takes a more prominent role in the investigation, she finds herself drawn into a deadly dance with a master of deception, a serial killer whose victims all work in media—journalists, influencers, reporters.

Shannon’s superiors are convinced it’s part of some grand attack on the free press, but she has a hunch these killings are much more targeted. And she follows that hunch straight into the heart of darkness....

Into Darkness is a gripping mystery thriller that will keep you up all night as it races toward its shocking conclusion. Perfect for fans of David Baldacci, Robert Dugoni, and Lisa Regan.

My thoughts on the story.

Love, Love, Love. And loved the narrator. Loved the story. I can't concentrate to read anymore, so I listened to the story and I had to hear it all the way through. Couldn't stop listening.

Murderous Revenge

Great start to a new FBI series featuring a smart, resourceful female agent. Action and twists that hold your attention.

Hopeful

This is a pretty good start to a new series featuring a young rookie FBI special agent named Shannon Ames. The storyline is really good, as are the pacing and the narration. My only hold-up is a slight one. While Agent Ames is intelligent and full of spunk, she's also showing her lack of experience and sense of team in this novel. She spends most of the story acting like she's got a major chip on her shoulder and feels she has to prove herself. I'm fairly certain that was done on purpose by the author to show her growth as the series continues. If that's the case, I'm all over it.

I'll be continuing the series at this point in the hope that readers will be treated to her seasoning through time and experience.

Great story

Great story that keeps you guessing on the identity of the killer. Great suspense & enjoyed the well developed main characters. Can’t wait to get started on book 2.

Great story, entertaining

I enjoyed this story very much. I did not think the performance was overly breathy or off-putting in any way. Give it a try. Worth the time.
