Cheers for Darker Than Night
I loved this book. In Darker than Night, John Lutz has written an eminently readable thriller. This is a tightly woven web of plot line and character development leading to a surprising conclusion. Characters, including police, victims, and killer are all intelligently and realistically drawn, with just enough red herrings to keep the reader a bit off balance. Particularly interesting is Frank Quinn, the disgraced detective who is brought back to the department to track down a serial killer who is targeting and brutally murdering happily married couples. And the back story of the Night Prowler, himself, is intriguingly planted throughout the book, shading the edges and giving it depth. This thriller provides all the anticipated suspense, plus a bonus--truly well written prose. Thank you, Mr. Lutz, for an altogether excellent read.

It a really good book with a twisted plot. It really kept my attention.
Helpful Score: 1
I have read almost all of Lutz's books and the "Night" series is really some of his best. I think that it might make you concerned about going to sleep!! (especially women and married couples, in this book.)
Helpful Score: 1
Excellent book. When I finished I immediately started looking to see if there was a sequel because I wanted to read more with these characters.
Helpful Score: 1
A fast-paced mystery with more twists and turns at the end than I can count.
