The Woman in Darkness by Charlie Donlea


This was a great read. I finished it and immediately ordered another by the same author. The story flicks between the present day, where forensic reconstructionist Rory Moore has recently lost her lawyer father, and 1979, where housewife Angela Miller is trying to work out who is responsble for a spate of local murders. Rory discovers that her father represented the serial killer Angela was tracking, and he is about to be released from prison. The first pages are quite dark. They are from the serial killer's perspective and show the delight he gets from killing. 

I enjoyed both the main characters. Rory is on the autism spectrum and repairs china dolls as a way of focusing her mind and controlling her OCD. Angela is dealing with mental health issues. Both are smart and different. The book has some great plot twists and is just a really clever story.
