Elizabeth Nowicki, a British woman and self-confessed stoic, settles down in the seemingly idyllic American town of Midnight, with her new husband and his two children. Six months on, life as a step mom is harder than she thought, and the shine of the American Dream has already worn off.

Bored and lonely, Elizabeth is drawn into a nightmare when someone in a duck mask murders two local cops…and the investigation reaches her new neighbourhood. When this is followed by strange happenings across the street, leading to another death, Elizabeth starts to conduct her own investigation….but can she find the killer before the killer finds her?

My thanks to Liz at Manatee Books for my review copy

Small towns hold dark secrets and I love books which throw readers into the midst of those close communities and let you stumble around with the lead character uncovering some of those secrets. Midnight is a small town. Not St. Mary Mead small, but with under 30,00o inhabitants there is plenty of scope for intrigue and mystery.

Elizabeth Nowicki has recently moved to Midnight. Originally from the UK she has married Luca and settled  down in this small US settlement and is adapting to her new life. When an unexpected shooting in the town rocks Elizabeth’s tranquility she begins to look a bit more closely at the activities around her. Then when her closest friend is killed she decides to take a more proactive approach to finding out what secrets Midnight may hold.

And there are secrets a-plenty. As we get drawn deeper into the tale the secrets will give way to mystery, to doubt and to the urge to keep reading to find out exactly what is going on. This is a book which will reward its readers as they get pulled along with the story – you want the answers to Daniel Culver will tease them out.

The writing is distinctly quirky at times. I expect the opening chapter to draw numerous comments in many reviews (look it just happened here too). But I cannot give you too much information about White Midnight as this is one of those books which you really need to discover for yourself.

So click the link below, order your copy and discover the secrets of Midnight for yourself.
