Summary
Shortlisted for the Theakston Old Peculiar Crime Novel of the Year 2023
Into the Dark is the new dark and gripping crime thriller from Fiona Cummins about revenge, greed, ambition and the true cost of friendship.
The Place: Seawings, a beautiful Art Deco home overlooking the sweep of the bay in Midtown-on-Sea.
The Crime: The gilded Holden family - Piper and Gray and their two teenage children, Riva and Artie - has vanished from the house without a trace.
The Detective: DS Saul Anguish, brilliant but with a dark past, treads the narrow line between light and shade.
One late autumn morning, Piper’s best friend arrives at Seawings to discover an eerie scene – the kettle is still warm, all the family’s phones are charging on the worktop, the cars are in the garage. But the house is deserted.
In fifteen-year-old Riva Holden’s bedroom, scrawled across the mirror in blood, are three words:
Make
Them
Stop.
What happens next?

Critic reviews
An absolute BELTER of a thriller. A superb plot, brilliantly executed and beautifully written. (Joanna Cannon, bestselling author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep)

Dark and twisty but unpleasant
I loved this in the first hour or so but as it progressed I disliked all the characters and didn’t care what happened.

Loved it
I loved this book. I liked the way it slowly unraveled. I usually get bored easily, but this kept me interested and entertained. A brilliant read

Loved it BUT had to re-listen a few times
So I loved Into The Dark- Helen Keeley did a great job narrating/performing. I think sometimes I had to re-listen because I missed something or was distracted with a time-hop (my own fault really) that I may not have missed if I had been reading. But over all the plot was good! I’m not sure if there’s a series with the character of Saul Anguish as there’s a back story there with a lot of baggage - but that would be interesting. I really liked the end! Such a cliff hanger! And didn’t actually see it coming!

ridiculous finish author must have got bored too.
Happy with narrator but it didn't havevan ending .. the story was clear and built but last quarter left just got ridiculous as if the author thought ... oh I need to go shopping and make supper so it was rushed and no point to the end. felt cheated as it had the worse finish in the 100s of books I have listen to. so felt a waste of time, and put me off any other books by this author. but see what you think. Good luck. 👍

Ok
It was ok but personally I need a likeable character in order to become invested. I didn’t care about anyone.

A depressing story to listen to
Firstly I found the 2 stories running through this distracting and couldn't see the point of the second strand. I listened to the end but could not engage with any of these characters nor the rather obvious ending. The intense, terminally depressed tone of the narrator reflected the story accurately but I did not enjoy the performance. I won't be getting anything by this author again

Very disappointed!
I cannot think of anything I enjoyed about this listen. It was convoluted & the hopping backwards & forwards in the timeframes was contrived and distracting. It seemed that all the characters were unpleasant & therefore impossible to engage with but the most irritating thing was the unusual names of the characters, it came across as pretentious & I found myself longing for a ‘John’ or a ‘Jane’. I listened to it about halfway & finally abandoned it. Definitely do not recommend.

I skipped through chapters.
I found this book rather depressing not helped by the narrator who droned on in a monotone voice. The story was disjointed and tedious so I skipped through to nearer the end which did turn out to have a twist to it. I certainly would not recommend this book. A complete waste of a credit. One big depressing yawn.

Disappointing
The characters in this book are entirely unlikeable . I just didn't care what happened to any of them, really dreary listen.
