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?
***
They say you never forget your first, and that was definitely true for Leonard Blaylock.

I really enjoyed The Dark Room. The title, cover and blurb made me want to read the book. I read a lot of thrillers. The Dark Room ticks all of the boxes for the things I enjoy; fast pace, complex characters and plenty of twists and turns. This is a good thriller, similar to other titles I've enjoyed. The pace of the book is perfect for a thriller. I liked the way the book is paced, and the big reveals come at the perfect time. This gets a thumbs up from me.
