Dark Corners

After loving Night Swim by Megan Goldin, I was very much looking forward to this sequel featuring Rachel Krall again, and Dark Corners did not disappoint. This mystery/thriller delivers a nice balance between Rachel's character development and interesting plot elements.

In this story, Rachel Krall has been summoned to Florida to assist the FBI in an investigation because her name was mentioned in a conversation between a suspected killer and a now missing social media influencer. Rachel gets drawn into the search for the missing woman and puts herself in the sights of a killer.

One thing I really enjoyed about this book is the character development. The reader gets to see more of Rachel's character and develop a connection to her. That is one of the benefits of sequels like this. I liked the introduction of a possible love interest for Rachel. It just adds another layer to the storytelling.

The plot takes a few twists that are not overly shocking, but they keep the story interesting. I figured out the main twist before it was revealed, but that didn't take away from the experience. I actually enjoy when an author provides enough clues to allow me to figure things out in advance.

Overall, this is a solid mystery/thriller that I would recommend to any fans of the genre. I hope Goldin continues Rachel's story in more books in this series.
