A twisted mystery of a serial killer with religious overtones. This book gets a little more in depth in Smoky's teams relationships with a little more personal info on James, Alan, Kirby, & Callie. Looking forward to reading the next in the series ( ) This is the third Cody McFadyen book, and they all have FBI agent Smokey Barrett as the lead character. The good news is this book is on par with his first book which was a well written entry into the mystery/thriller genre. After reading The Face of Death his second book I was worried McFadyen might be a one hit wonder, but he has redeemed himself with The Darker Side. The story is well developed with a “good” antagonist. The only thing that kept this from being a 5 star for me was a kind of weak ending. I would not say it is a bad ending just a change from what many books have, which I do not think is a bad thing but it could have been better. So if you enjoy the mystery/thriller books in the style of Karin Slaughter or Lisa Gardner you will probably enjoy Cody McFadyen. He is not in that top tier of mystery/thriller writers yet but definitely worth reading. I am currently reading his fourth book and it has started out as his strongest work yet. Each book can be read as a standalone, with each having a small summery of the characters at the start, but for me I like to start at the first one and read the series in order. I intended to read the books from the Smokey series in order, but I got the chance to send this book on a continuing journey, therefor I read it now. I liked the book, but it never really gor me to the edge of my seat, it was never really exciting. The things described are really not pleasant and a corner of my mind wonders how or where the author gets his inspiration. What was very interesting in this book, is the insight in the Smokey character. She reveals more of herself in this book (maybe because it was written in the 1st person?). sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
A lie, a long-ago affair, a dark desire - everyone has secrets they take to the grave. No one knew that better than FBI special agent Smoky Barrett. But what secret was a very private young woman keeping that led to her very public murder? And what kind of killer was so driven and so brazenly daring that he'd take her life on a commercial airliner thirty thousand feet in midair, a killer so accomplished that he'd leave only a small souvenir behind? These are the questions that bring Smoky and her handpicked team of experienced manhunters from L.A. to the autumn chill of Washington, D.C., by order of the FBI director himself - and at the special request of a high-powered grieving D.C. mother. As a mother, Smoky knows the pain of losing a child - it nearly killed her once before. As a cop with her own twisted past, she takes every murder personally, which is both her greatest strength and her only weakness. Brilliant, merciless, righteous, the killer Smoky is hunting this time is on his own personal mission, whose cost in innocent human lives he's only begun to collect. For in his eyes no one is innocent; everyone harbors a secret sin, including Smoky Barrett. Soon Smoky will have to confront a flawless killer who knows her flaws with murderous intimacy.
