The Dark Room

Reviews / Votes

An excellent, engrossing tale with a satisfyingly serpentine plot with a killer twist * Irish Independent * An infectious blend of Agatha Christie-esque murder mystery and Gothic whodunnit * Sunday Business Post * Scintillating and engrossing * Irish Examiner * This book delivers a wellpaced and layered plot that cleverly combines a number of cold cases with present-day drama, and the result is an intriguing read that delivers plenty of twists and turns and an absorbing conclusion. Blake also has a wonderful gift for description, ensuring the reader can picture every scene in exquisite detail. * Sunday Independent * Twisty, unpredictable and compelling * Liz Nugent * There's shades of Rebecca in this small-town mystery, full of atmosphere and menace and with a satisfyingly complex plot. The Dark Room is another winning page-turner from Blake and the perfect read for curling up in front of the fire on a winter's night. Although with its shocking reveals and ghostly undertones, good luck getting to sleep afterwards... * Catherine Ryan Howard * An addictive mystery, with a creepy twist * Angela Clarke * Laced with creepy menace and dark characters that live in the mind, it gets under the skin very quickly. * Scottish Daily Mail * Intelligent and compelling female leads, a spooky and atmospheric setting, and a gripping and satisfying plot -- Roz Watkins
