For years, operative James Nash has performed ultra-covert "Black Ops" missions for The Agency, but when he decides to walk away from their dirty work, his corrupt bosses aren't about to let him go. After Nash is nearly assassinated, Troubleshooters team leader Lawrence Decker launches a skillful deception to neutralize the threat and protect his friend. With the FBI's help, Decker fakes Nash's death, then brings him to a safe house with his fiancee, Tess Bailey, to recover from his injuries and strategize their next move.

Only a handful of people know that Nash is still alive - and fellow Troubleshooters Dave Malkoff, Sophia Ghaffari, and receptionist Tracy Shapiro aren't among them. Believing that Nash is dead and that Decker has begun a romantic relationship with Tess, Sophia settles for second best and begins a love affair with Dave, who has adored her for years. But Tracy puts two and two together, discovering the truth about Nash - much to Decker's dismay.

As passions flare, Decker struggles to keep his scheme afloat, and to keep Nash alive. But when he finds himself targeted for death, the game turns even more perilous, and Sophia, Tracy, and Dave are swept into the deadly play. Under fire and racing to unmask their relentless adversary, the Troubleshooters know that the closer they get, the greater the risks. But sacrifices and consequences come with the territory. Forced to choose between love and loyalty, they are no longer just solving a crime - they're fighting for survival.

We all know that Brockmanns books are not what they used to be, but I really enjoyed this one! There were two story lines running side by side in this book, easier to follow than the last couple. I loved the dynamics between Deck and Tracy and got more than one look from people as I burst out laughing while out walking my dogs (thats when I listen to my books). I really needed a distraction after the death of my niece and found this book to be a very welcomed escape! I would recomend this book, but if you are not familar with Brockmann you should really start with book 1.

Really enjoyed this one!

I think that each book in the series gets better and better, There are a feww that I can't get on audio, but from all the one that I have listen to this is the very best and before that into the fire and into the storm. I laughed and held my breath because Brockmann is not afriad to kill of someone (Angelina) so you never know.......

Great Listen

This was one of my favorites in Suzanne’s “Troubleshooters” series. I love all her work.

I'm a huge fan of Suzanne Brockmann. I love her characters and enjoy following their lives from book to book. Each story stands alone but is enriched by reading the other stories.

I think Renee Laudmann has an irritating little-girl voice which spoils the story. I doubt I'll buy another audio book if she is the reader. I think I'd rather read it myself.

The story itself gets a five rating. The reader a zero.

Needs a better female reader.

What made the experience of listening to Dark of Night the most enjoyable?

I thought that I had purchased all of the Troubleshooters books when they were originally published. Imagine my surprise when I realized that I had missed "Dark of Night". All of the Reviews said this was Tess and Jimmie Nash's story. While it finishes Tess's and Nash's story, it is really Decker and Tracey's story. I considered it one of Brockman's best since it includes Sam & Alyssa, Jules & Robin, Dave & Sophia, Decker & Tracey, and Tess & Nash. I couldn't stop listening.

What other book might you compare Dark of Night to and why?

If you like Suzanne Brockman's Troubleshooters books, you will love this.

Have you listened to any of Patrick G. Lawlor and Renée Raudman ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Patrick Lawlor narrates most of the Troubleshooters books with a variety of female Narrators, and I enjoyed every narration. There are so many characters in all of Brockman's Troubleshooters books that many reviewers think he is boring. I disagree. I find his readings are very interesting without being too dramatic.

Who was the most memorable character of Dark of Night and why?

Decker is the most memorable character since he is such a mystery in previous books.

Any additional comments?

This book answers so many question left from previous books, I highly recommend "Dark of Night".

Where does Dark of Night rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's a Brockmann. Beyond that, it's a Troubleshooters novel. Ergo, it's a keeper. However, as much as I loved the complexity of the plot, there was so much going on in this story that I think it took away from the romance. Other reviewers have said there was too much sex. Maybe, but I would suggest that it wasn't the quantity, but the quality of the sex--rushed, somewhat impersonal--that I found disappointing. This story wrapped up so many dangling plot ends that it really could have been two books. Not that I was sorry to have to spend only a limited amount of time with Sophia--I've never liked that character, and quite frankly think Dave could have done better!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dark of Night?

Tess finally giving Jimmy the business, and Jimmy finally coming clean. Love this couple, but she's needed to lay down the law since the end of Flashpoint. Dave being Dave--he's been one of my favorites since "Into The Storm", when we really got our first look inside his head. The scene with Tracy, Deck and the coffee mug was really cute too.

Which character – as performed by Patrick G. Lawlor and Renée Raudman – was your favorite?

Ok, I've liked both of these narrators in other books, but PGL really got on my nerves during this reading. He made Tracy just a bit too strident--yes, she is a little over the top, I get that, but the way he did her voice set my teeth on edge. Even so, I've always sort of liked Tracy as a character, and this book made me like her even more, so I guess it wasn't that bad. He started laughing though--you can hear it if you listen closely--during the "sex in the office" scene. That was a major negative point for me,and ruined what might have been one of the pivotal scenes of the book, relationship-wise. Some other reviewers have really disliked RR, but I don't think she did a bad job. Her voice is definitely different from the woman who did the female narration in books 7-11, but I actually find it a bit more mellow, less snippy, which was a nice change.

Great story...too busy to be romantic

The most unlikely people in the Troubleshooters universe couple up for the best pairing yet! Suzanne Brockmann delivers again.

While the intimate relations between characters is important the amount and repetitiveness of the sexual encounters got in the way of an otherwise good story. In addition, the author wrote these sexual encounters as one dimensional. It did create genuine sexual encounters. It was at the level of adolesent sex.

A good story - bad sex

This one is full of suspense, humor, and steamy sex! She wraps up several relationships from previous books (Flashpoint, Into The Storm), and continues the storyline from Into The Fire. Patrick Lawlor and Renee Raudman are very expresive in their reading. Listen and enjoy!
