Mrok czai się nie tylko w ciemnych kątachDom to azyl, miejsce, w którym czujemy się swobodnie i naturalnie, w którym nie musimy udawać kogoś innego i zrzucamy maski. Dom to często wymarzone mieszkanie kupione za zaoszczędzone pieniądze, pieczołowicie urządzane przez wiele miesięcy, mające dawać ukojenie i wytchnienie po ciężkim dniu pracy. Wreszcie dom to bezpieczeństwo. Ale nie zawsze.Śmierć przychodzi nocąNowym Jorkiem wstrząsa seria zabójstw bezdzietnych małżeństw. Najpierw kobiety odnajdują dyskretnie podrzucone prezenty – ulubione przysmaki w lodówce, czekoladki, ubrania – które to podarunki niczego nieświadome żony przypisują swoim niezbyt romantycznym mężom. A później, którejś nocy budzą się zaalarmowane hałasem w kuchni i znajdują w niej obcego mężczyznę, który najnormalniej w świecie stołuje się kanapką. Dalszy ciąg tej historii to pasmo bólu i czerwień tryskającej krwi. Sprawa jest skomplikowana, bo ofiar nic ze sobą nie łączy, wydają się być dobrane w zupełnie przypadkowy sposób, a i wzorzec popełniania zbrodni nie jest oczywisty.Ciąg dalszy przeczytacie tutaj: http://geek-woman.blogspot.com/2014/0...
When I figured out I had started this series in the middle of it I had to find the first book in the Quinn series and try again.And I am glad I did as there was a lot going on I didnt understand and now do, so it just goes to show some series you need to start at book one.I really enjoyed this book it helps you get to know the characters and why they are the way they are.The only downside for me personally was there was a few to many characters fighting for attention and I did get a bit confused with them and more than once had to go back a few pages to help me figure it out.
What do You think about Darker Than Night (2004)?
I'm not sure how any of these 'detectives' ever solve anything as even when obvious evidence is staring them in the face or is right under their nose's they either don't see it or choose to completely ignore it!! Which left me screaming with pure annoyance toward's the later stage's of this book. A perfect example being the start of chapter 62 ... it's right there!!! FFS!!! If Lutz was aiming for drama & intrigue he missed by a country mile and ended up with a confused and infuriating mess. I'll pass on the rest of this series thank you.. life's too short.

This book was great. A scary, dark, whodunit that I guarantee you will not predict. Ever read Michael Slade? I'd compare this book to one of his. A truly sick and twisted psycho killer known as the Night Prowler is stalking and killing married couples. There are a ton of characters in this book and multiple storylines going on to throw you off to where you won't see the shock ending coming. This is book 1 of the "Frank Quinn series" where we're introduced to Quinn, an ex cop, and his two sidekicks who are trying to solve the murders. Ironically, they are not the highlights of the book. Frank Quinn is no Agent Pendergrast, no Alex Cross, no Lucas Davenport...but this is only my first experience with Quinn. Maybe by the eighth Quinn novel, he'll be just as much a hero as those guys. Anyway...I digress...read this book....now. So good...
