Available Dark

How it reads

Available Dark is thriller (international serial-killer thriller, specifically), and its dominant mood is tense. The suspense is the kind you feel in your shoulders. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.

It's set in an international setting, in the present day, told in the third person, staying close to one character. Its central concerns are survival, secrets and justice. In weight it sits in the middle: substantial without being heavy going.

It's a later book in a series — you'll usually want to start earlier. The ending is dark — no rescue, no neat bow. At 246 pages it's a quick read. It's a hidden gem — known to relatively few readers.
