Usuari anònim: Dark Places was undoubtedly influenced by In Cold Blood, but brings an interesting form of storytelling to superficially similar plot lines.
BookshelfMonstrosity: These intricately plotted, fast paced and suspenseful murder mysteries feature young women struggling with dark family secrets and intense drama. Both expertly switch between past and present to slowly reveal disturbing truths.

M'ha agradat molt la descripció de la vida a aquesta part d'Estats Units, rural, amb una crisis econòmica brutal. La descripció dels personatges, la manera d'anar endavat i enderrera, crec que és una autora brillant. No li he posat cinc estrelles perquè l'he trobat un pèl llarg. Ara, la descripció d'aquets clubs on analitzen assassinats, plens de frikkis, la trobo sensacional! ( )

“I have a meanness inside me, real as an organ. Slit me at my belly and it might slide out, meaty and dark, drop on the floor so you could stomp on it. It’s the Day blood. Something’s wrong with it. I was never a good little girl, and I got worse after the murders.”
“I was not a lovable child, and I’d grown into a deeply unlovable adult. Draw a picture of my soul, and it’d be a scribble with fangs.”
