Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Kelly's protagonist, Boston crime writer Liz Connors, joins forces with bestselling crime author Griffin Marcus in her latest thought-provoking appearance (following And Soon I'll Come to Kill You ) . After the Boston magazine Liz writes for folds, she signs on to help Marcus research a book about the unsolved serial murders of seven young women whose bodies, with multiple stab wounds, have been found on the bank of the Merrimack River. Marcus is convinced the killer is Henry Kmiec, who is in prison for stabbing three prostitutes. Slowly and painstakingly, Liz and Griffin analyze the cases to discover possible parallels. Kmiec confesses to the unsolved crimes in an interview with Griffin. But Liz has developed doubts about the prisoner's guilt for the Merrimack murders. After Kmiec apparently commits suicide, the question remains: Was he responsible for the stabbings? As Liz and Griffin become immersed in their need to answer that question, Liz's longstanding relationship with cop Jack Lingemann disintegrates, giving this a gritty, bittersweet story added dimension and depth.

From Library Journal
Series crime writer Elizabeth Connors returns for another Boston adventure, one that distances her from her longtime lover. Connors leaps at the chance to help a famous (and attractive) true crime writer with his book about the Merrimack Valley killer--a serial murderer already in prison for other murders. Connors uncovers disturbing evidence, however, that the true killer may still be at large. Kelly continues to use character description and large chunks of dialog for storyline, but not always convincingly. Skippable.

4.0 out of 5 stars
out of the darkness,
By A Customer
This review is from: Out of the Darkness (Hardcover)
I really like an author with a sense of humor and Susan Kelly gave me some good laughs. She also gave me a good dose of frustration, because I couldn't think faster than her sleuths. "Out of the Darkness" wasn't predictable; the first sign of a good mystery. I enjoyed getting to know her characters and their mannerisms, theories and bungles. All in all, a good read.
