Customer Reviews

The second time is even better.

I read the first Lydia Strong story, "Angel Fire," and I had such a good time I got this next one the minute it came out. And I was pleased to find that the series (at least I sure hope it will be) is getting better all the time -- the relationship between Lydia and Jeffrey getting stronger, the stories even more complex and intriguing (and scary, too). Miscone takes on a lot in her plots, but she makes it all work beautifully in the end.

A Great Read

The Darkness Gathers leaves you breathless. Good character developement along with intriguing plot from a talented writer.

Another winner

I recently read Lisa Miscione's first novel, 'Angel Fire' in which she introduces Lydia Strong and Jeffrey Mark. I was so impressed by that book that as soon as it was published I purchased 'The Darkness Gathers'. I'm often disappointed when I revisit charachters of whom I am fond because the second attempt is rushed and not as clever. This new Lydia Strong mystery does not dissappoint. It has the same crisp and somewhat dark style and well drawn characters. The story is suspenseful and intriguing. It takes the reader from the cool streets of New york to the hot Miami nights and to the ravaged country of Albania. The action never stops. I stayed up way too late to finish this one. I highly reccommend it.

Best mystery that I have read in a long time....

This book grabbed my attention from the very first chapter, and kept a hold of it all the way through. Miscione's creative storyline makes this book much more interesting than the typical private detective mysteries out there. With plot twists and different locations being explored by the multidimensional characters, this book really stands out from everything that I have read recently.

Total Pageturner...

I picked up this book and could not put it down. It really has it all; richly developed characters, exciting action, snuff films (which is an interesting topic), Albanian pyramid schemes, and evil corporations. Add to all this Miscione's engaging writing style and you really have a winner. I fully recommend this book to anyone.
