Reviews
"Darkness Peeringis a novel of uncommon complexity, grace, and power. A very impressive debut." --Jonathan Kellerman "Darkness Peeringhas it all-a frightening premise, fully developed characters, and excellent pacing. Alice Blanchard takes her place among the best suspense writers at work today." --Michael Palmer "In her gripping novel, Blanchard deftly folds the reader into a tautly orchestrated story that twists and turns with knife-edged precision toward a bloodcurdling and shocking conclusion. Her characters are brimming with life, her writing is beautiful, and her local color is splendid.Darkness Peeringraises the suspense genre to a new novel." --Alan M. Dershowitz "Darkness Peeringis a creepy and intense thriller. Its superb twists shocked me more than once." --Phillip Margolin

Synopsis
Winner of the prestigious Katherine Anne Porter Prize for Fiction, Alice Blanchard makes her electrifying debut as a novelist with this gripping tale of suspense that dares to stare unblinkingly into the darkest recesses of the human heart. The dead girl lay faceup on the edge of the pond, a snake coiled in the muddy hollow of one arm. For Police Chief Nalen Storrow, it was a shocking reminder of the violence he thought he'd left behind when he moved his wife and children to Flowering Dogwood, Maine, a town where no one locks their doors. And now Storrow's search for the truth leads to a chilling possibility...the murderer might be his own son, Billy. Eighteen years later the murder of the girl in the pond has never been solved. Now a different cop is obsessed with the case--Rachel Storrow, Billy's grown sister. But no sooner does Rachel reopen the investigation than another young woman disappears. Once again Billy is a suspect, though far from the only suspect in town. The harder Rachel peers behind Flowering Dogwood's picture-perfect facade--at the center of which is the respected Winfield School for the Blind and Special Needs--the more the mystery deepens. A cunning psychopath is moving undetected through Rachel's hometown, taking her on a journey of suspicion, doubt, and bone-deep fear. Plunged into a world where darkness follows even the innocent, Rachel must unearth secrets that span decades and face a staggering personal truth. Darkness Peering is more than a harrowing suspense novel of the first rank. It is a powerful portrait of a woman who, like her father, must walk the tightrope between honor and justice, and in doing so tests her own humanity.

    Shipping was very swift, and we'll documented for tracking. The packaging was handled with great thoughtfulness and even attention to the contents being sent. The Items were just as described and in very good condition despite their relative age. An incredible value to anyone who seeks specific information about ships of the line, from the earliest of times up till the present day, while giving brief historical accounts of significant vessels used. Seller is the Best Ever!

    Book was shipped insanely fast like Amazon! It was packaged very nicely, bubble wrapped twice, and even wrapped in a plastic sleeve! I appreciate the extra care the seller showed here, and it means a lot since there is a lot of dings when it comes to shipping packages and stuff. It also came exactly as it was shown in the pictures. As a sucker for Greco-Roman history, this was a great find for a great price! Awesome seller, hands down!

    Perfect!! The books purchased are in great shape, exactly as described. Book prices are very reasonable and the shipping costs low. Another big plus for the shipment as a whole. The parcel and contents were neatly packed and the parcel arrived way earlier than estimated. Trustworthy delivery by GLS. Seller itself is friendly and the communication about the shipment was thorough. Very happy, recommended experience!
