Search - Darker Than Night (Night, Bk 4)

the book was good. Took me longer to read than normally but I was stopping and starting it. I still feel it was a good story

One of my favorite authors .. and he never disappoints.

A killer dubbed "The Night Prowler" has turned the city that doesn't sleep into a town kept awake by terror. Unseen, he enters couples' homes. Unsuspected, he lingers until the perfect moment arrives. He leaves 'gifts' for his victims ... before taking their lives.

Excellent suspense w/very twisted ending. Altho I read murder mysteries all the time, this did cause me to pause and consider the night!

Very good read.

Cheers for Darker Than Night
I loved this book. In Darker than Night, John Lutz has written an eminently readable thriller. This is a tightly woven web of plot line and character development leading to a surprising conclusion. Characters, including police, victims, and killer are all intelligently and realistically drawn, with just enough red herrings to keep the reader a bit off balance. Particularly interesting is Frank Quinn, the disgraced detective who is brought back to the department to track down a serial killer who is targeting and brutally murdering happily married couples. And the back story of the “Night Prowler,” himself, is intriguingly planted throughout the book, shading the edges and giving it depth. This thriller provides all the anticipated suspense, plus a bonus--truly well written prose. Thank you, Mr. Lutz, for an altogether excellent read.
