Terrifying and full of shocking twists, you won’t believe who did it!
Clara Pascal is a successful barrister, mother, and wife to Pippa. On Pippa’s birthday Clara agrees to take her to school, where she is kidnapped in broad daylight.
Clara awakens in a dark, cold cellar where she is chained to the wall without food or water.
With Pippa being the only witness to the kidnapping, the police try to find out who took Clara Pascal.
Who would do this? and why?
This novel was originally published in 2002 although for some reason it didn’t make the headlines, which is strange because it such a good book! I don’t even know where to start.
First of all, if you enjoy novels with a lot of different characters, then you will love Darkness Falls. We get to know Clara, her husband, their nanny, the policemen investigating and of course the many suspects. It’s as if the reader was part of the investigation.
The story line is clever and skillfully plotted, with the main story lines that are interlinked and fall into place for a majestic ending: the investigation, the criminal and the one with the big twist which you will not see coming… or will you?
