Into the Dark by Fiona Cummins is a chilling, tightly plotted crime thriller that unearths the sinister depths of friendship, greed, and ambition. Shortlisted for the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year 2023, this unsettling story begins when the glamorous Holden family — Piper, Gray, and their two teenagers — mysteriously vanish from their beautiful art deco home, Seawings, perched over Midtown-on-Sea. The house remains eerily untouched: phones left charging, the radio humming, and cars still in the garage.
When Piper’s best friend arrives to find the home deserted and a blood-scrawled message reading “Make Them Stop” in teenage Riva Holden’s bedroom, DS Saul Anguish is called to investigate. Anguish, a brilliant detective haunted by a troubled past, must navigate a tangled web of secrets where nothing is quite as it seems. Cummins delivers an inventive, twisting tale that keeps readers on edge as old betrayals, dangerous ambitions, and the corrosive cost of loyalty unravel in shocking fashion.
Into the Dark is a must-read for fans of dark, clever British crime fiction and psychological thrillers filled with unexpected turns and unsettling truths.
