'Just what British crime writing is crying out for - a compassionate, grass roots British novel with the pace, energy and impeccable research of an American thriller' - Mo Hayder on DARKNESS FALLS 'A skilfully plotted story with strongly drawn characters.' - Sunday Telegraph 'Margaret Murphy has managed to produce another outstanding psychological thriller...Darkness Falls is a powerful work...Readers of her previous work should certainly not be disappointed, whilst those fresh to her output will find this book provides an enticing introduction.' - Sherlock 'A piece of absolutely terrifying writing...This is crime's most compelling, chilling book ever.' - North Wales Chronicle 'Exemplary chiller...If Murphy's appointed task is to scare the reader...she succeeds brilliantly.' - Literary Review 'Makes Margaret Murphy a mistress of psychological novels.' - peterborough evening telegraph 'Menancing psychological thriller with a clever plot.' - glasgow evening times DARKNESS FALLS is a model of what the modern suspense thriller should be -- tense, scary, page-turning and stomach-chuming -- because we care most of all about what happens to the characters. Set aside a day -- you won't be able to put it down once it has you in its grip. - Val McDermid
