Review of When Darkness Falls

Having previously read another of Ms. Harryman’s serial killer stories I have to wonder how she comes up with her ideas. It seems she knows the serial killer mind a little too well, if you know what I mean. I find myself concerned for her neighbors’ safety. Lol
All kidding aside, this is another solid thriller from an author who has proven to me she has a good grasp on the bloody knife of the serial killer genre.
She jumps right into the story and doesn’t let up on the tension until the end. You’ll find yourself questioning things from the get go. In fact the only thing you won’t question is the killer’s motive, because the killer tells you from her own mouth.
Ms. Harryman balances the brutality with humor supplied by the main character’s friends. In fact, their friendship is a major positive in this story that kept me chuckling as I turned pages.
I guessed early on at the killer’s identity but still found the story intriguing and wanted to see what happened. The ending threw me for a loop enough to be satisfied and tied up the story nicely while leaving that shred of doubt.
Another excellent serial killer thriller from Kathleen Harryman with buckets of blood and a nice twist ending. I look forward to reading the sequel, ‘Darkness Rising’.
