Village in the Dark

De: Iris Yamashita

Narrado por: Sophie Oda, Blaire Chandler, Aspen Vincent

Detective Cara Kennedy thought she’d lost her husband and son in an accident, but harrowing evidence has emerged that points to murder--and she will stop at nothing to find the truth in this riveting mystery from the author of City Under One Roof.

On a frigid February day, Anchorage Detective Cara Kennedy stands by the graves of her husband and son, watching as their caskets are raised from the earth. It feels sacrilegious, but she has no choice. Aaron and Dylan disappeared on a hike a year ago, their bones eventually found and buried. But shocking clues have emerged that foul play was involved, potentially connecting them to a string of other deaths and disappearances.

Somehow tied to the mystery is Mia Upash, who grew up in an isolated village called Unity, a community of women and children in hiding from abusive men. Mia never imagined the trouble she would find herself in when she left home to live in Man’s World. Although she remains haunted by the tragedy of what happened to the man and the boy in the woods, she has her own reasons for keeping quiet.

Aided by police officer Joe Barkowski and other residents of Point Mettier, Cara’s investigation will lead them on a dangerous path that puts their lives and the lives of everyone around them in mortal jeopardy.

Twists and turns galore!

Really enjoyed the story and performances. The voices of the characters matched perfectly with their personalities. If u haven’t read the first book already (City under one roof), do so before reading this one.

Good Series

Interesting settings and strong women make this an enjoyable series. Fun seeing some of the eccentrics from book one return while bringing in great new characters.

What horrible voices "performed" this book!

I had to give this book an overall of three stars simply because of the performance. Why must people try to speak in tongues? I can't they simply read the books to us? The voices ruined the entire experience for me.

Fantastic Sequel

I loved the first book but this continued story is even better! I really enjoyed the plot & pacing. It’s fun, exciting and had so much heart. Exactly what I want in a mystery.
