Darkness Falls (Kate Marshall #3) by Robert Bryndza

 The third book in this crime thriller series finds Kate Marshall and her partner, Tristan Harper, chasing the cold case of a journalist, Joanna Duncan, who disappeared 12 years ago. Hired by the missing woman's mother, the two private detectives root through the old files, re-interview the same people, but discover that Joanna's case might also be related to the disappearance of two young gay men. It seems there might be a serial killer on the prowl.

The narrative alternates in point of view as we see a glimpse into the killer's activities. There are quite a few characters and lots of red herrings with the big reveal a bit of a surprise even if it it left me slightly incredulous. The reader learns more about Kate and Tristan and Bryndza provides some back story but it is probably best if you have read the previous two installments. At times I found the procedural details a bit slow moving, but overall entertaining.

Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for this e-book ARC to read and review. 

This is the third in a series and should be read in order.

Genre - crime thriller
