Review: Darkness at the Edge of Town

Darkness at the Edge of Town by Jennifer Harlow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A compelling suspense thriller that runs the gamut of emotions, DARKNESS AT THE EDGE OF TOWN is Book 2 in the Dr. Iris Ballard series. Iris, now a national "hero" after killing a suave, wealthy, multiple rapist-murderer while still a forensic psychologist with the FBI. Against her better judgment, she returns to her Rust Belt hometown to locate her brother, who may have joined a cult.


Shades of Branch Davidian, Jonestown, and Heaven's Gate echo throughout the novel, which will appeal to readers of Sandra Brannan, Tess Gerritsen, and Iris Johansen. There is a plethora of obscenity, some violence and tragedy, and some sexual scenes, so 18+.
