An engrossing and twisty
I thoroughly enjoyed Darkness Falls, the third instalment in Robert Bryndza's Kate Marshall series. It's an engrossing and often dark mystery, with plenty of twists, turns and red herrings to keep the reader guessing.
Now officially working as private investigators, Kate and Tristan are approached by local woman Bev Ellis, whose journalist daughter Joanna Duncan went missing from an Exeter carpark thirteen years previously. Bev is adamant that her daughter met with foul play, rather than vanishing of her own accord, and is desperate to lay her to rest.
Investigating leads involving Joanna’s personal relationships, stories she’d been working on and a mysterious reference to two young men who went missing not long before Joanna herself, Kate and Tristan uncover a twisted web of lies and murder.
Darkness Falls is a complex mystery, with a wide cast of characters and a distinctive setting on the Devon coast. I enjoyed the "cold case" element of the plot and the skilful use of misdirection by Robert Bryndza to maintain suspense. A dramatic conclusion rounded out an engrossing read.
I'd recommend Darkness Falls to any reader who loves complex contemporary mystery-thrillers, with well-developed characters and great settings. While reading in series order would allow for a greater grasp of character backstories, my feeling is that Darkness Falls could also be thoroughly enjoyed as a standalone.
