Wait for Dark (Bishop/Special Crimes Unit #17) by Kay Hooper
In Clarity, North Carolina, the residents have fallen victim to an unfortunate series of events. Seemingly random accidents have taken the lives of several citizens in the small mountain town. But these deadly coincidences are anything but.
Something is on the hunt in Clarity, and the only clue as to what is a cryptic note given to the victims 24 hours before they meet their ends: “Wait for dark.”
Sheriff Mal Gordon knows how to handle his town, but he has no idea how to handle this. Hollis Templeton and her team from the Special Crimes Unit, including her partner and lover, telepath Reese DeMarco, are called in to investigate.
But while the SCU has prepared them for the unknown, the incredible evil stalking Clarity shakes the team to their core when one of their own is targeted. Now Hollis, the “cat with nine lives” finds herself facing death again.
And this time, not even her partner can protect her.
I am still amazed that after all these years all these installments that Hooper continues to write so many amazing books - one after the other and does it beautifully.
Harper continues to be a master of suspense and intrigue for me and I have been a fan of her writing for many years now.
Where most authors who are this far into a series tend to dilute and lose their focus and the readers interest Hooper maintains mine. From beginning to end I love Wait for Dark, I love its cast, I love that despite their struggles that intimacy wise that Reese is still a truly fantastic guy and despite her struggles sticks by Holls no matter what.
That kind of loyalty speaks to you - or me rather.
I think the only thing I didn't quite agree with was the new plot with Hollis, I'm not sure I'm into it yet but its an interesting turn. I'm curious to see how it affects events in later installments. Thank you Hooper for another great read.
