Thank you to Kensington Publishers, and NetGalley who gave me a free ARC e-book of "That Darkness" by author Lisa Black. Following is my honest review.

Once I opened the cover of [b: That Darkness|4900|Heart of Darkness|Joseph Conrad|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1392799983s/4900.jpg|2877220] the story did not let me rest.

I love to learn while reading, and I did learn more about trace evidence in "That Darkness."

A fan of forensic science, I enjoy the character Maggie Gardiner. Maggie is the Protagonist. Dedicated and smart, she is solid gold in her position.

I liked Jack Renner right away, and want to know more about him. Jack goes back and forth at being an Antagonist and hero. Justice loving people will root for him - right or wrong.

When I was nearing the end of the story, I could not help thinking I hope the second in this series is quick to publish.

There is pressure on authors, but that happens when they are good. Lisa Black writes like truth is stranger than fiction. She has a new fan.

The writing is good. An almost 400 page book, I read this in a few hours. Traces of the story keep nudging my brain.

I want more, and will read the next book in the series. The intelligence of [a: Lisa Black|115085|Lisa Black|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1313799493p2/115085.jpg] shines through.… (altro)
