She whipped around and saw the knife gleaming in his hand…Īs the snow begins to melt across Plattsburgh, New York, the body of a young woman is found buried in a snowbank. A crack behind her, a foot snapping a branch, it warned her that he was still coming. Around her, the snow was falling, casting an eerie silence over the town.
Her heart was pounding so hard, she was sure it would give out. She’d been running for so long, it felt like her legs were on fire. This was a mystery with a different twist – the serial killer is not just from the protagonist’s past, or an encounter long ago, he is her father! Agent: Jill Marsal, Marsal Lyon Literary.Here I am today, chatting about this new suspenseful novel Find Me in the Dark by Dea Poirier. Fantasy fans may enjoy delving into Asher’s murky dreams, but those expecting a mystery with a satisfying resolution will be disappointed. The ambiguous ending, a series of shifts in perception that leave both Asher and the reader slightly dazed, points to a sequel. The engrossing narrative switches between Asher’s reality and the fantasy world of his increasingly disturbing dreams, until the two realms seem to merge. After Asher is arrested, his abusive father, a powerful judge, pays off the district attorney, who agrees to send him to a notoriously violent reform school in the Florida panhandle. He’s told that he was found holding a knife covered in Olivia’s blood and lying next to the dead girl. One day in 1968, he wakes up in the hospital with no memory of how he got there or what has happened in the preceding month. Seventeen-year-old Asher Flemming, the protagonist of this series launch from Poirier ( Next Girl to Die), a nicely written if flawed paranormal thriller, has been in love with his childhood friend, Olivia, since the two were toddlers.
