A review by smakk1337
Gone to Darkness by Barbara Nickless

3.0

This is a typical Sydney Parnell story. Her PTSD from the war, her desire to do it all herself. All come rushing back in this new novel by Barbara Nickless.
Sydney a new homicide detective is thrown right back into murder and mystery surrounding her beloved trains from the jump. However starting off on a hunch that her very seasoned partner doesn't believe is going to get her anywhere. Turns into a game of cat and mouse between Sydney and our killer.
The mystery in the book is wonderful and keeps you guessing. Nickless is wonderful at giving us heart pounding thriller action. With that being said I do really wish more focus would have been placed on some growth of Sydney's. We really didn't develop her relationship with her boyfriend too much this book as the emphasis seemed to focus on new characters that I think we will see again and growing them.
Overall this is a solid book in the series and worth the read.
