What Darkness Does

Coroner's Daughter Mysteries, Book 5

De: Jennifer Graeser Dornbush

Narrado por: Sophie Amoss

Dr. Emily Hartford finds herself dredging the depths of a remote lake—and her own past relationship—in What Darkness Does, the next thrilling mystery from Jennifer Graeser Dornbush.

Called in to investigate the body of a young mother found floating in a small Michigan lake, Freeport coroner Dr. Emily Hartford quickly determines that Savannah Browdey was murdered. Among the many questions circling this horrifying event is one that yanks hard on Emily’s heartstrings: Where is Savannah’s infant daughter? Working alongside police detective Ishkode Aditson, Emily becomes ferociously determined to find the missing baby, Brooklyn.

At the same time, Emily’s longtime boyfriend Nick Larsen has reappeared—after being missing, presumed dead, for over a year. But Nick has changed. Badly injured and severely traumatized, the ex-cop turned FBI agent is a different man, one who has endured unimaginable brutality and then buried his secrets deep. Nick has a long road ahead … but he’s not a patient man, and catching a sadistic killer seems like good enough therapy to him.

Emily has her doubts, but what’s clear is that a cruel killer’s reign of terror must be stopped, one way or another. Their foe is formidable, increasingly bold, and brutally reckless. To catch this monster, Nick must battle his own demons, while Emily puzzles together the mystery of Brooklyn’s whereabouts, in hopes of giving a grieving family a happy ending.

Last in the series

I liked it. But didn’t like as much as the ones before this. All in all I loved the series.

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!

I habe absolutely fell in love with all of these characters. I love Dornbush's writing style, research, attention to detail. Huge fan.

Love this book series!!

I really hope there is a book 6 and that it comes out soon! I love the all the characters in the book, except for the villain, and I love the narrator’s voice.

I just want to rate the performance…

The narrator ought to know how to pronounce city names. Seriously, “Salt” Saint Marie is not how you pronounce Sault (“Soo”) Saint Marie. That’s just embarrassing, especially for someone who probably pretends to be some sort of Native Rights apologist. Doesn’t the narrator know about the Sault Tribe?

Anywho, I’ll update this review after I finish the story. For now, I hope the narrator knows my disdain for her mispronunciation.

There better be a new book coming soon…

I need to know what happens next! I absolutely love this series! This is the type of book series that needs to be made for tv!
