About this listen

The Sunday Times best-selling author of Closer than You Think returns with a breathtaking new novel in the Cincinnati series - would you cross the line between danger and desire, between justice and revenge? A desperate hunt to find a young girl's killer is about to turn deadly....

Former army ranger Marcus O'Bannion and homicide cop Scarlett Bishop have met only briefly, but when Scarlett receives a phone call in the middle of the night, she immediately recognises the smooth voice asking her to meet him in one of Cincinnati's roughest areas.

On arriving, Scarlett finds the body of a teenage Asian girl and Marcus injured. Marcus claims the young woman was working for an affluent local family, and the last time he saw her she was terrified and clearly in need of help.

Having agreed to meet her, they were both targeted for death. As they investigate, Scarlett and Marcus are pulled into the dangerous world of human trafficking, where they soon realise they are going to have to become as ruthless as those they are hunting. Because if they don't, how many other girls may end up alone in the dark?

good storyline, too much cursing and sex scenes

What did you like most about Alone in the Dark?

The author worked the storyline really well. Background information about human-trafficking, how many citizens even don't realize it also happens in the States.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Alone in the Dark?

The reconciliation between Scarlet and her father was one of the most memorable moments for me of this book.

What does Susie James bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Not sure, she is a good narrator, but can't mention something specifically.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I kept listening to it till the end, pretty much in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

I found the cursing and the detailed sex scenes annoying and innecessary. I would definitely enjoy her books more without it.

Along in the dark

As always Karen Rose has done it again. They are long books but it is very difficult to turn off and once it's off you can't wait to get back to the story
It's wonderfully written and the reader is very cleaver with the voices, you know who's talking all the time.
If you haven't listened to Karen Rose then please try one of her books, each and every one is full of suspense and drama.

long winded

a good storyline that was bogged down in trivia and did not mix well with the love story.

What made the experience of listening to Alone in the Dark the most enjoyable?

the monies worth

If you’ve listened to books by Karen Rose before, how does this one compare?

n/a

Which scene did you most enjoy?

lol the sex

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, good listen, i enjoyed it, totally worth the money. But trite

Any additional comments?

just too much strong of the female heroine "i''m so tough. but really attractive (ob), but totally vunerable", and too much male hero " i'm handsome and tall, I've been in the army (bicep flex).
TOO much shooting! #americansloveagun.
no real grit, realism or beliveablity.
Let itself down on a serious subject.
EVERYONE got shot; Here is the thing America, you are the only country in the world whose police force just shoot everything in sight
it was tiresome

Narrator Ruins It

Really enjoy the works of Karen Rose but I can't put up the narrator. Her male voices and they way she goes up at the end of every sentence absolutely ruined the book for me.

I felt it was too similar to the first in the Cincinnati series, only this time I wasn't anywhere near as invested.
