All’s fair in love and revenge in this taut thriller from bestselling author Lisa Gray.
Ex-crime reporter Leonard Blaylock spends his days on an unusual hobby, developing strangers’ forgotten and discarded rolls of film. He loves the small mysteries the photographs reveal to him. Then Leonard finds something no one would ever expect, or want, to see captured on film—the murder of a young woman.
But that’s impossible, because the woman is already dead. Leonard was there when it happened five years earlier.
He has never been able to shake his guilt from that terrible night. It cost Leonard everything: his career, his fiancée, his future. But if the woman didn’t really die, then what actually happened?

This was a fun listen and I recommend it to those who are looking for a mystery thriller that’s a bit shorter than some others, but packs a lot of enjoyment into those hours. A little humor doesn’t hurt either.
Guilt, Relief, then rinse and repeat!

We learn at the beginning of the story that Leonard is a serial cheater who picked up the redhead in a bar and went back to her hotel room. She ended up dead and he quickly left the hotel. He has been living with guilt ever since. Now that he knows she really didn't die that night five years ago, he is interested in learning what exactly happened.
As usual with Lisa Gray's books, the story is told from multiple timelines. Jumping from past to present with various characters points-of-view sometimes got a little confusing. I really had to concentrate on what was happening. I'm glad I did. This story has lots of twists and turns that I didn't expect.
I listened to the audiobook which was read by Michael Orenstein. It only took two days since it was a rather short book, and I didn't want to stop listening to it. My rating: 4 Stars.

Holy crap read this book

Once I got a few chapters in, the pace of the book/story really picked up and took me on a roller coaster ride with an ending that I totally didn't see coming! The characters were likeable and relatable but what gives this story it's merit is the ending!
I have quite a few Lisa Gray books in my TBR list, however, I think this was the first one that I actually read! With an ending like that, my interest is definitely piqued so I look forward to seeing what her other books bring to the table in the near future.
I listened to the audio version of The Dark Room which was narrated by Michael Orienstein. I don't feel it was overly good or bad, but definitely wasn't a book I would put down right away because the narration was so horrible. I believe this is the first title I've listened to narrated by him and I definitely wouldn't hesitate to listen to a second!
Overall, I am super pleased with this book and can't wait to read more titles by Lisa Gray!
Slow start...Excellent Ending

Positives: The Dark Room is a well-written and engaging thriller that will appeal to fans of psychological suspense. The author does a great job of building tension and mystery throughout the story, and the chapters alternate between Leonard's present-day investigation and flashbacks to the night of the murder. The book also has a strong sense of place, as it is set in Glasgow and Edinburgh, and the author captures the atmosphere and culture of these cities. The book also explores some interesting topics, such as the power of photography, the ethics of journalism, and the consequences of secrets and lies.
Negatives: The Dark Room may not be for everyone, as it contains some graphic scenes of violence and torture, as well as some strong language. Some readers may also find some of the characters unlikable or unsympathetic, especially Leonard's ex-fiancée Caroline, who plays a major role in the story. Some readers may also find some of the twists too predictable or implausible, or feel that the ending was too rushed or convenient.
