Reviews

Praise for In the Dark

“A gripping suspense novel about misguided assumptions and secrets hidden in plain sight . . . its final destination is anything but expected.” —Bustle

“The second in what will hopefully be a long-running series . . . Just as engrossing and complex as [Close to Home].” —CrimeReads (The Most-Anticipated Crime Books of 2019)

“Arresting and unnerving . . . Hunter exposes human frailties such as social and governmental missteps and policemen’s personal mess-ups while celebrating the essential humanity of those sworn to serve and protect. Readers will eagerly await Fawley’s next outing.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
