"Like an extended L&O episode, the story grips the psyche and won't turn loose"

Fresh Fiction Review

Dark Room

Romance Suspense

Seventeen years ago, Morgan Winter, then ten years old, found the bodies of her brutally murdered parents. Raised by her parents' best friends and now a successful entrepreneur, Morgan is still haunted by what happened to her parents so long ago. And now, the past is colliding with the present, as new evidence sets the presumed killer free. Morgan hires a private investigator—the former lead detective on her parents' case—to help her get to the truth and find the real killer. Monty brings on his son, Lane, a photojournalist, to assist him. Together, they discover a truth more shocking than Morgan ever expected.

In DARK ROOM, Andrea Kane delivers a suspenseful tale in the vein of an extended Law & Order episode. Try as you might, you can't turn away even though you wish you could speed up the pace a thousand fold. Because from the beginning, the story grips the psyche and won't turn loose, throwing plot twist after twist at you until the very end with the most unexpected twist of them all.

If Ms. Kane's other novels are similar to DARK ROOM, I could certainly see myself tucking one into a suitcase when packing for vacation. It's the perfect mix of suspense and romance, one I'd save to curl up with when I really had time to indulge in reading pleasure.

SUMMARY

On Christmas Eve seventeen years ago, Morgan Winter was traumatized by the discovery of her parents' brutally murdered bodies in a Brooklyn basement. When shocking new evidence overturns the killer's conviction, Morgan is forced to face the horrifying realization that the real killer is still out there.

Trapped between past nightmares and present danger, she hires Pete Montgomery, the former NYPD detective who once promised the helpless young Morgan that he'd find her parents' killer. With nothing more than an old case file and crime scene photos, Monty enlists the specialized skills of his son, Lane, a photojournalist who performs covert image analysis for the CIA. In a cruel twist of fate, they expose the devastating secrets of the dark past, only to discover that while the dead may be buried, danger lives on . . .
