No Other Darkness

No Other Darkness by Sarah Hilary Summary: The gripping follow-up to Sarah Hilary’s acclaimed debut Someone Else’s Skin, No Other Darkness finds mystery’s “impressive new cop-heroine” (The Times, London) on a case that hauntingly echoes her own family tragedy. Detective Inspector Marnie Rome and her partner Detective Sergeant Noah Jake are investigating the recent discovery of two dead boys in a bunker beneath a London garden. Terry and Beth, under whose garden the bodies were discovered, have two children of their own, and are also fostering a difficult boy named Clancy. Clancy reminds Marnie of her foster brother Stephen, who murdered her parents. Is Marnie’s past blinding her to the truth? Only one thing is certain: when Terry and Beth’s biological children vanish, Marnie can’t waste a moment finding them. Angie's Comments:  I felt spooked through this book. It doesn’t have gore, but it has something even scarier – something that anyone can suffer from. And the prologue remains haunting. The action really gets going in the second half, when Terry’s and Beth’s children disappear. This is the second book in the series, but you can read this as a stand-alone.
