Los Angeles Times "Terrifying." People Magazine For Police Chief Nick Storrow, the mysterious death of a child is a shocking reminder of the violence he'd left behind when he moved his wife and children from New York City to the idyllic town of Flowering Dogwood, Maine, where no one locks their door at night. But his search for the truth leads to a chilling possibility... the killer could be his own son. Years later, Detective Rachel Storrow becomes obsessed with the unsolved case. When a young woman disappears from the school where her brother works, Rachel realizes that a cunning psychopath is moving undetected among them, plunging her into a terrifying world where darkness reigns and anyone could be the killer... including her own brother.

An engrossing, seamless mixture of psychological thriller, whodunit and police procedural.” Publishers Weekly “Blanchard’s prose is swift and cinematic.” The Cleveland Plain Dealer “Taut, compelling, remarkably assured and often horrifying, Darkness Peering is written with grace and style; tough where it needs to be, erotic and sexually candid.” The New York Times Notable Book of the Year "For all its dark artistry, Alice Blanchard’s deeply scary first novel, Darkness Peering, is not your off-the-rack genre thriller." Bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman “Darkness Peering is a novel of uncommon complexity, grace and power.” Entertainment Weekly “An impressive debut with a knockout finale.” Murder Ink “Wow. Blanchard’s polished and powerful debut pushes the serial killer novel to new heights. This one is up there with Silence of the Lambs.” Milwaukee Journal Sentinel “Blanchard may have literary roots, but Darkness Peering proves she can hold her own with the plot-wielding, bestselling big boys. The last six pages serve up a kick that feels like it was delivered by a .44 Magnum.”
