Description

Anna Carlisle’s third chilling Gin Sullivan mystery, is perfect for fans of small-town suspense and authors like Chevy Stevens, Lisa Jackson, and Julia Maynard.
Former medical examiner Gin Sullivan thought she’d put her troubled past behind her—but a deadly web of drugs, depravity, and murder threaten to consume all she loves.

Small-town secrets don’t stay buried for long, and no one know that better than former Chicago medical examiner Gin Sullivan. On extended leave from her job, Gin is back in her hometown of Trumbull, PA, settling into a quiet life with her old high school sweetheart, Jake Crosby. But the demons of Gin’s past are lying in wait—and when Jake’s estranged mother turns up dead in a local motel from a heroin overdose, life in Trumbull begins to unravel one thread at a time.
Dead set on revenge against the dealer, Jake brings in local high school student Jonah Krischer to face justice. But Trumbull police chief Tuck Baxter has to contend with the boy’s father, a prominent physician who threatens legal action over the unconventional arrest—even though Jonah admits to stealing his dad’s prescription pad to sell phony opiate prescriptions for cash. And when Jonah offers to lead police to a body in exchange for leniency, the stiff turns out to be one of the doctor’s own patients. Is there a killer on the loose in Trumbull?
The race is on to find the truth in Anna Carlisle’s In the Darkest Hour, the third hair-raising Gin Sullivan mystery.

        July 23, 2018
        At the start of Carlisle’s unconvincing third mystery featuring former medical examiner Gin Sullivan (after 2017’s All the Secret Places), Gin is volunteering at a Trumbull, Pa., middle school when her live-in lover, contractor Jake Crosby, barges into the classroom with the news that his troubled mother, Marnie Bertram, whom he hasn’t seen since infancy, has been found dead in a motel room. The autopsy suggests that Marnie died of a drug overdose, and Jake with surprising ease soon nabs the drug dealer who sold his mother the heroin that killed her, Jonah Krischer. Jonah offers to reveal the whereabouts of another body in exchange for leniency. Gin and Jake separate under the strain of the subsequent investigation, and Gin finds herself attracted to the hunky Trumbull police chief. Carlisle stitches cozy elements—small-town quaintness, descriptions of food, the heroine’s loving but invasive family—into an often grim police procedural. For many readers, this will be an awkward mix. Agent: Barbara Poelle, Irene Goodman Literary Agency.

        July 15, 2018
        A body found by a high school drug dealer becomes the center of an opiate investigation when the dealer wants to trade his charges for information.After recovering from a spate of murder revelations, during which she helped clear her boyfriend, Jake Crosby, of criminal charges, Gin Sullivan is ready for a more low-key life in her childhood home of Trumbull, Pennsylvania. Her previous life as a Chicago medical examiner put her in close touch with death, but since she moved back, it's all been personal. When Jake shows up at Gin's volunteer job at a middle school, moody as always, his misery seems warranted. He's just gotten word that his mother's body has been found in Denton. It's not that Jake and Marnie Bertram were close, given her ongoing struggle with opiate addiction. In fact, he hadn't seen her since he was a baby, but their estrangement makes it worse for Jake, who seems to process emotions exclusively through a push/pull of neediness and anger toward Gin. Even Jake sees his own self-destruction when he shows up for a dinner party he and Gin are hosting with high schooler Jonah Krischer, the boy who sold Marnie her fatal dose, in tow, with his hands tied behind his back. Vigilante justice is too much for Gin and Jake, so they call police chief Tuck Baxter to pick up their unwilling guest. Jonah, who as the son of a local physician has access to prescription pads, wants to swap his knowledge of where a body has been buried for a slap on the wrist in lieu of real charges. Gin feels responsible to help Tuck try to piece together the connection between Jonah, the body, and the local drug epidemic, but she fears her involvement in the case may give Tuck the idea that he can finally have her to himself.With her primary characters and general themes established (All the Secret Places, 2017, etc.), Carlisle may need to work harder to re-create the movement and dark moods that made her earlier work so successful. Though this entry is well-done, it lacks the intensity that would justify its title.
