Summary

The Dark Room is a pacey and thrilling tale from the author of the number one Irish Times best seller Keep Your Eyes on Me.

Hare's Landing, West Cork. A house full of mystery....

Rachel Lambert leaves London afraid for her personal safety and determined to uncover the truth behind the sudden death of a homeless man with links to a country house hotel called Hare's Landing.

New York-based crime reporter Caroline Kelly's career is threatened by a lawsuit, and she needs some thinking space away from her job. But almost as soon as she arrives, Hare's Landing begins to reveal its own stories - a 30-year-old missing-person's case and the mysterious death of the hotel's former owner.

As Rachel and Caroline join forces, it becomes clear that their investigations are intertwined - and that there is nothing more dangerous than the truth....

I liked the story and I've listened to all of Sam Blake's books. It's a good story, compelling but some of the writing is a bit repetitive. there are many instances of hands flying to mouths, eyes opening wide, the use of rabbit ears (inverted commas) and poor Jasper the dog never actually seems to get his promised walks! The idea that 2 Irish women wouldn't know that the few inhabitants of a small Irish village wouldn't know about them being tourists in January is unbelievable. everyone knows small villages are full of gossip!!

all in all a good story though and I always like the nod back to previous books by the same author!

Good story but suspend your reality

This yawn/yarn consisted of two women discussing (amongst themselves) something that may or may not have happened yesterday/last year or even at all


There was no pace, it just droned on and on ... l wasted yet another credit

An intriguing story wonderfully weaved through a cast of excellent characters. Beautifully read by Aoife McMahon, this dark and sometimes spooky tale keeps us guessing right until the end. Highly recommended.

Gripping read

I have listened to the 3 Kat Connelly books and have enjoyed them then I saw this stand alone book by Sam, and I really enjoyed it with its twists and turns, is the hotel really haunted? The two women get together to try and solve things of the present and things of the past. I like the way Sam just very briefly brings Kat Connelly in to the story even though the book isn't about her. The narration by Aoife is as always first class she is one of the best in the business bringing various accents and dialects in fact I found Sam Blake by looking at books read by Aoife.

I loved this book

Having happily listened to many of the authors books recently with the same author, I am confused as to what happened here.

The plot is dire and I actually have no idea what happened. I zoned out and gave up rewinding. Too many characters & coincidences and it just wasn’t believable.

The London accent made me wince at times but otherwise I do like her style.

Disappointing!
