Publisher's summary

Ex-homicide cop Frank Quinn is still reeling in the wake of an elaborate setup that ended his career, but a new case presents a chance to salvage his reputation. A killer dubbed "The Night Prowler" has begun terrorizing the citizens of New York City. Unseen, he enters couples' homes. Unsuspected, he lingers until the perfect moment arrives to murder his victims.

With the body count climbing, it's up to Quinn to unlock the mystery of a madman's past and end his bloody reign of terror. Quinn has his work cut out for him, because in the city of New York, any one of eight million faces could be that of a killer - or his next target.

Highly Reccommend

This was my first read of a John Lutz Book. I mainly ordered it because of Scott Brick. I was not disappointed by either. I did not figure it out until the very end although there was quite a bit of misdirection on the author’s part. Anyway, I will continue listen to Lutz and definitely continue to listen to Scott Brick.

Best new author for me

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes - keeps you on the edge of your seat - lovely little twist at the end.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Darker Than Night?

The twist

What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I enjoy listening to books as I drive - had to go around the block a couple of times to get to a place where I could stop

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

?

Any additional comments?

This is a first time "listen" to this author - won't be the last.

Great work!!!

This was a very good book in my opinion and Brick did a fantastic job, as always. I especially liked Quinn and his team. I found myself rooting for them, especially Quinn, the lead character. Ending was a shocker too.

Degrees of Separation

Scott Brick narration was excellent. The story was interesting and full of suspense. I loved the way the degrees of separation was brought together.

A little much going on.

Too many twists and turns, the story came together at the end but there was a lot going on.

Poor Quinn - an uphill battle - I loved it

Lutz is one of my favorites and I love the Frank Quinn series. Quinn battles several issues in this one up to the end. Lose love, find love, lose love, find love. Detested by an unfounded charge of rape, more under-current. Not to mention the case at hand. Definitely worth the listen!

I loved it. You will not know my friend,

I think the best part is when Pearl decks the sergeant. Payback is a bitch.

Slow but exciting

Some parts were slow and needed pulling to get through. However, you knew that if you didn't listen something would be missed. Great plot twists.
And Scott Brick is a great performer, as always.
