Thoroughly enjoyed this detective thriller which takes place in the Seattle area of the US and involves the murder of a family of four and the solving of the crime by a team of detectives featuring especially Amy Madison, recently transferred to Homicide. The main characters are all well-developed and an intricate plot leads to a fitting if slightly traumatic ending for all concerned. The writing is fluid, quite descriptive without being overdone, engaging and well worth a read I’d recommend this book to anyone who likes a good police procedural thriller with lots of detail, engaging writing and a well-told story. For lovers of Jeffery Deaver and Patricia Cornwell. This murder mystery irritated me because I kept being dragged out of the spell of the book for a couple of reasons. Occasionally there would be a sentence or two in present tense for no apparent reason, and I kept having problems telling who was speaking. There was lots of she said/she did when it seemed as if it should be a male character speaking or doing those things, and early on in the book I had to look back to see whether Detective Sergeant Brown was female (he isn't). So Gift of Darkness is a DNF. Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Als der Countdown näher rückt, muss sie alles vergessen, was sie je gelernt hat - und einen Pakt mit dem Teufel schließen. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Nella prima metà, ci vengono presentati tutti i personaggi che hanno più o meno a che fare con il delitto sul quale si sta indagando, ma nessuno di questi riesce a conquistarsi le simpatie e/o le antipatie del lettore. Per 200 pagine circa, questo romanzo non mi ha dato nessuna emozione, nessun brivido. Il vuoto.
Tuttavia, da lettrice tenace quale sono, sono andata avanti, decisa a finirlo e... sorpresa! La seconda metà è tutta un'altra storia. Non sembra neanche lo stesso romanzo. La detective Alice Madison riesce a far breccia nell'interesse del lettore, così come Nathan Qhuinn, avvocato acuto e intelligente. Per non parlare di John Cameron, moooolto intrigante e oscuro. Uno che non vorresti mai incontrare di notte... sempre che tu riesca a renderti conto che è lì vicino a te... ( )
