Three years ago, FBI agent Darcy Gellar almost died at the hands of a serial killer.

Struggling with her demons, Darcy moves her family to Genoa Cove. With the sadistic killer she captured serving a life sentence, she hopes a peaceful life along the ocean will end her nightmares.

Then a body surfaces along the coast. And the evidence points to one man: the killer Darcy put behind bars three years ago. Either Darcy caught the wrong man, or an apprentice serial killer stalks paradise. Then the murderer takes another life, and the nightmare of three years ago rushes forth to claim Darcy.

Now Darcy isn’t simply unraveling a mystery. She’s facing a killer who knows what frightens her most. He won’t stop until he takes her life and destroys her family.

But the killer should beware. Darcy stopped a serial killer once. And she’ll do it again.

Praise for Dan Padavona:

"Dan builds tension like few others can. His prose is rich and his characters are memorable. I dare you to read a Padavona story with the lights out." (Zach Bohannon, author of the Empty Bodies series)

Awful Narration

The story was good. The main character has to be the dumbest Former FBI agent ever!! But the narrator.. so so annoying.

Good story, uncomfortable narrative.

The story is a good one, unfortunately the reader was not a good fit. I would like buy again with a different narrator to allow me to fairly judge the story.

Great Twists!

Darkwater Cove by Dan Padavona pulled me in immediately. I loved how the author wrote the twists and developed the characters. There were vivid descriptions and several red herrings. One does not know where things are going. The ending of the book was a surprise too. Meghan Kelly was wonderful bringing the characters to life. One could hear who was speaking, and she inflected the right emotions in her voice. I fully enjoyed this listen.

Can you hide from a serial killer?

Darcy moves her family to Darkwater Cove to retire in peace and safety. Suddenly she was anything but safe. Can she keep herself and her family safe? Or her friend? This is truly a thriller and well written. The narrator, Megan Kelly gave a terrific performance.

Good

While this is a good story I was surprised at the main character more than once. She is a previous FBI profiler. So I figured she would be smarter than the average joe. But many times I was shocked at her actions because she seemed to be a normal person when dealing with the cops, strangers and kids. Barring that this is an entertaining story. I spent much time trying to figure out who is the killer. I didn’t get it til they told me. I did listen to this on audio. Meghan Kelly did a great job.
