The Darkness Gathers is a novel by bestselling authorLisa Unger writing as Lisa Miscione. It is the second book featuring Lydia Strong.[1]
Jean Heller of theSt. Petersburg Times wrote that while the novel is "a bit slow getting started - heavy on internal dialogue and introspection on Lydia's part in the early chapters", it "soars" when in "breaks out".[2] Jenny McLarin of theBooklist called it an "exciting story enriched by a glamorous writer-heroine who carries a Glock and knows how to use it."[3] Rex Klett of theLibrary Journal wrote: "Complex protagonists, intense prose, and atmospheric descriptions combine to make Miscione's second fictional outing a solid and satisfying read. A perfect choice for mystery fans who dislike cozies."[4] Oline H. Cogdill of theSun Sentinel wrote that the novel is "at its strongest when Miscione shifts the action to Miami" and that she "delivers some action-packed scenes, especially a few creepy nights in Manhattan and a chilling visit to Albania."[5]
