Hidden in the Dark - Mystery Game for Escape Rooms & Parties

Excellent, suspenseful read.Harper Flagg lost her mother to serial killer, the 'Bad Guy' when she was two years old; sixteen years later the Bad Guy's back on a killing spree and close by. Harper's father, a state police detective, has brought up Harper to protect herself - and more. She's a runner, a fighter, tough and smart and stubborn, but underneath it all she's a girl who loves books as much as she does running. Set up this scenario: tough girl with tough dad against a wily, somewhat-brilliant and charming (or deranged?) killer and you've got a good story.This is a mystery - what's this 'Bad Guy' all about, why does he target young mothers, but leave their babies or young children alone? It's also a thriller - what happens if/when/why Harper and the killer meet? Can she stay safe from him? Is anyone safe from him? And it's also a psychological look into the head of a young woman who refuses to be beaten. I mean, who is Harper, really? Is she really the strong, disciplined girl, dead set on catching or punishing the man who killed her mother? Does she have a weakness, does the killer? And can the Bad Guy outwit her? Can she outwit him?No spoilers here, just an overview of a quick-paced, complex story set in a small town in MA. I enjoyed, read it in two days, and I do expect a sequel, yes I do...
