One of Publishers Weekly’s Best Mystery/Thriller Books of 2020

"From its gripping beginning to its sobering finale, Amy Engel's The Familiar Dark never fails to enthrall with surprising twists." (Associated Press)

A spellbinding story of a mother with nothing left to lose who sets out on an all-consuming quest for justice after her daughter is murdered on the town playground.

Sometimes the answers are worse than the questions. Sometimes it's better not to know.

Set in the poorest part of the Missouri Ozarks, in a small town with big secrets, The Familiar Dark opens with a murder. Eve Taggert, desperate with grief over losing her daughter, takes it upon herself to find out the truth about what happened. Eve is no stranger to the dark side of life, having been raised by a hard-edged mother whose lessons Eve tried not to pass on to her own daughter. But Eve may need her mother's cruel brand of strength if she's going to face the reality about her daughter's death and about her own true nature. Her quest for justice takes her from the seedy underbelly of town to the quiet woods and, most frighteningly, back to her mother's trailer for a final lesson.

The Familiar Dark is a story about the bonds of family - women doing the best they can for their daughters in dire circumstances - as well as a story about how even the darkest and most terrifying of places can provide the comfort of home.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The Familiar Dark is a blistering rural noir brimming with dark secrets and the harsh realities of survival in a hardscrabble town. As Eve Taggert seeks vengeance for her daughter’s murder and descends into the depths of her own jagged past, we are reminded that a mother’s love is a fearsome thing. A powerful, gripping, heart-stopping read." (Laura McHugh, award-winning author of The Wolf Wants In)

Something about this story gets under your skin. The character that is so unlovable you love her. The constant swells of emotions and never knowing where it was going was amazing.

Gritty and dark but deep

The main character was very whiny. The storyline is good and interesting, but towards the end, it’s very predictable. It would be so much better if there were more detail about the bad things that happened to them when they were children or as they were growing up. The info was included, but the detail needed more. It wasn’t dark enough.

Whiny and boring

I lost track of how many times "my mamma" was said. It became comical. I couldn't focus on the narrative because the constant use of "my mamma" kept interrupting the storyline.

MY MAMMA should have been the title

My last review was for a book that almost made me cancel my membership. This book brought back my faith in Audible. Narration and story are excellent and the ending was not like other books. I’m excited to read more from this author!
