PRAISE FOR A MAP OF THE DARK
Compellingly told, with a striking sting in the tail.
A riveting, breathless novel, equal parts police procedural and emotional personal journey. Karen Ellis's twisty plot, dark storytelling, and nail-biting action kept me reading far too late into the night. A triumph!
[A] riveting series launch... The tight plotting will keep readers turning the pages.
A MAP OF THE DARK is a compelling and moving story of buried secrets and hidden demons.
