Into The Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes

Into The Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes

I had the pleasure of chatting with another fabulous author about some of her books that I read a few years ago. Elizabeth Haynes is from the UK and also a police intelligence analyst, so of course you can imagine she knows what she is talking about! Into the Darkest Corner was her very first novel, which is so impressive, as it was a UK and NY Times Best Seller.

I enjoyed Into The Darkest Corner because I love psychological thrillers, suspense and mystery. This book grabbed me from the first few pages, which starts with a court interrogation of Lee Brightman. It then shifts into a disturbing murder scene of a young woman. The story then jumps into the life of a young woman, Catherine, that had a violent ex-boyfriend (Lee Brightman) and so she suffers from  severe symptoms of OCD and PTSD. The book alternates between 2 different time periods: when Catherine was in the violent relationship and her current life filled with anxiety and paranoia. It's one of those books that actually gives you anxiety as you read it!
I would definitely recommend this book if you enjoy suspense and dark books. I don't want to give too much away , but this is a very entertaining read. The police and detective references are a bit different since the writer is from the UK, but you get the idea once you read further.

I also really enjoyed Human Remains by Elizabeth Haynes. This is another dark, disturbing story that does a great job grabbing your interest. I find that Elizabeth's writing is very unique and I look forward to reading other books by her soon!
