The Darkest Time of Night

De: Jeremy Finley

Narrado por: Suzanne Toren

Anchor and investigative journalist for WSMV-TV in Nashville, Jeremy Finley's debut thriller explores what happens to people's lives when our world intersects with the unexplainable.

"The lights took him."

When the seven-year-old grandson of a US senator vanishes in the woods behind his home, the only witness is his older brother, who whispers, "The lights took him," and then never speaks again. As the FBI and National Guard launch a massive search, the boys' grandmother Lynn Roseworth fears only she knows the truth. But coming forward would ruin her family and her husband's political career.

In the late 1960s, before she became the quiet wife of a politician, Lynn was a secretary in the astronomy department at the University of Illinois. It was there where she began taking mysterious messages for one of the professors, messages from people desperate to find their missing loved ones who vanished into beams of light.

Determined to find her beloved grandson and expose the truth, she must return to the work she once abandoned to unravel the existence of a place long forgotten by the world. It is there, buried deep beneath the bitter snow and the absent memories of its inhabitants, where her grandson may finally be found. But there are forces that wish to silence her. And Lynn will find how far they will go to stop her and how the truth about her own forgotten childhood could reveal the greatest mystery of all time.

The Darkest Time of Night is fast-paced debut full of suspense and government cover-ups, perfect for thriller and supernatural fans alike.

Worth a read or listen

it was a fantastic debut novel - not as captivating as I'd hoped for honestly.

Down to earth yet out of this world!

Every aspect very well done. Kept my attention every step of the way. Superb narration and excellent story line.

awesome

One of the best books I've read in a long time and I read a lot of books

Very good story!

I really liked the characters of Lynn and Roxie. Very good narrator. Would definitely recommend!

Read this one first

I just finished listening to The Darkest Time of Night and The Dark Above in succession. What a great story! I really enjoyed the take on the whole UFO abduction thing. It was an explanation that made a kind of sense and brought the story to a believable conclusion. Suzanne Toren did a perfect reading.

Heroes come in all ages!

I wasn't expecting two senior citizens to be the heroins in this story. And it was a unique take on aliens and I was taken on a roller coaster ride. A grandmother's love is very strong and this would be a great movie!

Great Book

Finley presents a great perspective on a controversial subject. The characters are genuine with authentic personalities. Narrator right choice to add to this wonderful book.

Fantastic !!!!

I was hooked from the beginning it kept me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to read the next one. very well written and enjoyable!
