Hello, Darkness

A Novel

De: Sandra Brown

Narrado por: Victor Slezak

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Seeing Red comes a thrilling tale of psychological suspense about a woman haunted by her past and caught in a nightmare that threatens to destroy her future.

For Paris Gibson, her popular late-night radio drama is both an escape and her one real contact with the outside world. To her loyal listeners, she is a wise and trusted friend who not only takes their requests but listens to their problems and occasionally dispenses advice.

Paris’s world of isolation is shattered when one listener—a man who identifies himself only as “Valentino”—tells her that the girl he loves jilted him because of Paris’s on-air advice. Now he intends to exact his revenge: first he plans to kill the girl—then he will come after Paris.

Joined by the Austin police department, Paris plunges into a race-against-time thrill ride to find Valentino before he can carry out his threat. To her dismay, she finds that she must now work with crime psychologist Dean Malloy, a man with whom she shares a history. His presence arouses old passions, forcing Paris to confront painful memories that she had come to Austin to forget.

As the clock ticks down and Valentino’s threats come closer to becoming reality, Paris finds herself forced to deal with a killer who may not be a stranger at all.

Tense and compelling right up to the chilling climax, Hello, Darkness is suspense at its very best, by the author USA TODAY dubbed “a masterful storyteller, carefully crafting tales that keep readers on the edge of their seats.”©2003 Sandra Brown Management, Ltd.

Entertaining

Even though this was somewhat predictable, it was a thoroughly entertaining listen and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys mysteries.

blah

it just didn't work for me. Not her best work. Very predictable and cheesy.

Always check to see if there is a LONGER version

I've noted many Audible titles to be labeled UNABRIDGED only to scroll down to find a LONGER one labeled the same. (I suppose with all the books Audible people are only human and make mistakes.)So I found what I mistakenly listened to what I thought to be unabridged book. Sandra Brown is a great writer and has yet to let me down. Someday I'll download the LONG version because I could barely follow this "chopped to bits" abridged version. So, buyer beware, always check the title for a version with more hours of narration. Longer books are always a better value.
