Publisher's summary

From the opening chapter of the electrifying Dark Harbor, one thing is clear; this is the clarion call of an exciting new talent. Highly touted debut author David Hosp crafts an engrossing novel in the tradition of John Grisham, John Sandford, and David Baldacci.

Scott Finn survived a childhood running errands for crime kingpins to become a six-figure lawyer at a prestigious Boston firm. Now the sky's the limit...until his colleague and former lover Natalie turns up dead in Boston Harbor, her heart surgically removed. She initially appears to be the seventh victim of "Little Jack", a serial killer reminiscent of Jack the Ripper. But suspicion quickly turns to Scott, who must dig deep into Natalie's life to discover the secrets she kept.

The suspense builds to a crescendo as this stunning thriller travels at breakneck speed toward a shocking conclusion.

Critic reviews

"Compelling characters pulse through attorney Hosp's surprisingly engaging fiction debut." (Publishers Weekly)

Loved it!

What did you love best about Dark Harbor?

Great story...better reader...George Guidall is my FAVORITE and can bring any story to life!
Would love more Scott Finn stories with GG narrating!

Something completely different.

Not at all like John Grisham. Yet the author is very talented. The story is very engaging with some very surprising twists and turns. George Guidall is superb in this performance. When he was reading the part of the psycho it sent chills in all direction.

Sure held my interest

I found what a couple other reviews said was true. From start to finish it held my interest.

Worth a Listen

I gave this book a three star rating. However, its probably more like three and a half. The story doesn't grab you from the beginning but its interesting enough that you want to stick with the story. I liked the characters but most lacked true depth to their persona. It's a good book to listen to when you don't want to get totally wrapped up into a novel.

kinda, sorta....

A good enough story but a perfectly repugnant, utterly superfluous torture/murder scene that sticks out in my mind like a very sore thumb as I recall the book. It just didn't ring true and I'm offended as a reader that I was expected to buy in. If you're very discriminating about what goes into your brain, you may want to do a little more research before choosing Dark Harbor.

Some reviewers claim the outcome was too easily predicted but I was surprised at who the perps were and were not.

Stop reading this...

...and download "Dark Harbor" NOW! Very strong story development, great descriptions of locale and scenes; all yields a good balance along with a cast that truly grows on you. The narrator is at the top of his game here

Great Book

This book was really good, well written and fast moving.

Many Classes of People Surround the Harbor

Excellent novel ! It discusses the parental background of the characters, their desire to elevate themselves, and the effect their backgrounds have on the people they become or are becoming.

Great story, great story telling and narration.

If you could sum up Dark Harbor in three words, what would they be?

Very realistic thriller!

What did you like best about this story?

This story is very believable. The characters and story line are developed really well throughout the story.

Have you listened to any of George Guidall’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Many, he's great in this one as well.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, but i was eager to continue the story to the end.

Any additional comments?
