The Dark Hours, by Amy Jordan

"Julia Harte has found the perfect place to disappear: Cuan Beag, a secluded coastal village on the east coast of Ireland. Home to less than one thousand residents, a popular daytrip for tourists, it has proven to be a scenic corner in which to erase a life. This corner of the world is so peaceful, at times it feels uninhabited; that’s why she chose to disappear here. But Julia knows anything is possible in the dark hours.

Thirty years ago, Julia helped to bring down the most prolific serial killer Ireland had ever seen, and while that case spurred a successful career and a bestselling book, it's also the reason she's in hiding now, all alone and haunted by the things tha happened all those years ago, without the husband she had depended upon. When a copycat killer strikes, Julia is called back to active duty, but this time, she's not the young, naive officer she was then. She knows killers like this one, who hunt for sport, and she's determined to put a stop to his plans--or die trying."

Diane | 4 comments I really enjoyed this book.


Chris (chrissieml) | 44 comments Finally got the chance to read this one, and it is good. Well written, plotted and very readable.
The switches between then and now were of a good length to get the flavour of the two times.
A rare four stars.

Beth Stewart | 30 comments I re-read this one to refresh my memory. Overall it was a good read. I am just not fond of this modern format of jumping back And forth between 10 years and the current year.
