All the Dark Places

By: Terri Parlato

Narrated by: Christina Moore, Stephanie Cozart

A savage murder rocks a quiet Massachusetts suburb, revealing the dark secrets at the center of a group of friends and setting two women–one with a traumatic past, the other a Boston police detective–on a hunt for truth in this stylish debut thriller for fans of Megan Miranda and Shari Lapena...

Snow falls softly outside Molly Bradley’s home on a frigid January night. Inside, half a dozen close friends are gathered to celebrate the fortieth birthday of Molly’s psychologist husband, Jay. Candlelight gleams against dark wood, wine flows, and the house rings with laughter. Everybody loves Jay, Molly most of all. Yet next morning, Molly discovers Jay dead on the floor of his office, his throat brutally slashed.

After decades working with the Boston PD, Detective Rita Myers has grown accustomed to the banality of evil—the murders that make no sense beyond bad luck or a tragic brush with the worst of humanity. But Jay Bradley’s murder isn’t random, or a mere crime of opportunity. Rita is convinced that someone in the couple’s small circle killed him. Someone who was celebrating with them that night.

Devastated, Molly tries to make sense of her husband’s death. Jay was her rock, the only person who really understood the nightmare she lived through long ago. He knew the horrors she’s kept hidden even from her friends. But shocking revelations are making her question if Jay was all he seemed to be—and whether someone else knows her past too. And until Molly figures out who she can really trust, she won’t be able to stop herself becoming the next target . . .

Enjoyed this Read

I would purchase another book in this series. Surprising end. Narration was good. Give this one a shot.

A little too long, but not bad.

This was a decent listen. I liked all the voices that were used with the exception of the female detective. It went on a bit longer than it needed to with next to no real ‘investigation’ other than ‘we’d like to ask you some questions’ from the detectives, and I found the ending a little predictable, as well. But all in all, it wasn’t bad.

Did not guess "who"

Did not guess "who" so that is a plus. It wasn't bad but not great either, just okay...helped pass the time.

Perfect summer mystery

Substantial plot, great characters and narration.
Enough twists to keep my interest while following a logical line to a surprising conclusion

Good story!

One of the narrators for a woman’s part sounded like a man. Threw me off the whole book.

Captivating

I enjoy trying to see how long it takes me to figure out the ending of the story. This one was great due to so many characters. One drawback during the performance was difficulty in following men’s roles sometimes due to the pitches of their voices. I would definitely recommend this book to others who love puzzles.

Outstanding

I also took a chance on this book. I have now found a new author to follow. Story and narration make it definitely worthwhile!

Great read

It had a good mystery to it I did like the two voices to distinguish the two main characters

Better than anticipted, really good twists.

I didn't have high expectations for this book and boy was I wrong. I was hooked from the first page. A really different take on a mystery. I did not guess the killer because of the twists - which I loved. Lots of very interesting characters. Only thing that kind of bugged me was that author took a little too long to explain Molly's background. First time reader of author and will definitely look for more books by her. On performance I took away a star for the voice of Rtia, I know she is written as a tough seasoned detective, but I didn't feel like the voice matched the image. Looking forward to more Rita stories - will read What Waits in the Woods when it is available either by Kindle or Audio.

Excellent!

The story is fast-paced and held my attention throughout. In fact, I binge-listened to all of it in less than two days!I’m really looking forward to the author’s next book—I hope it’s soon!
