Dark Design

The Erin Delaney Mysteries, Book 2

By: Nancy Mehl

Narrated by: Stephanie Einstein

When Erin Delaney learns that a serial killer has mimicked the murder portrayed in her bestselling novel, her career as an author takes a detrimental turn. She joins her friend Kaely Quinn-Hunter, a former FBI profiler, to help identify a suspect, but the team is stumped, and Kaely fears for Erin's safety as they work to dismantle a web of fear and chaos.

On top of tracking down a murderer, Erin must shoulder the weight of a haunted past and the claims that she stole the plot of her novel from one of her sources. But as the enemy looms closer than ever, Erin's life hangs in the balance.

Bestselling author Nancy Mehl threads a plot of danger and threats with heart-drumming suspense in book two of The Erin Delaney Mysteries.

2nd Book in the Erin Delaney series - does not disappoint!

Dark Designs had a nice twisty plot. I guessed portions of it but was still surprised by the end. I also loved the focus on redemption and God's forgiveness.

Wow

Wow, did not see that coming. So many that could have been the unsub. Kept me guessing..

Christian Young Reader Mystery

Good book for young adults, perhaps even middle school. I like that it was Christian.

I could not get into this one

I pre-ordered this one forgetting that I do not like the narrator. I tried to go ahead and listen, but the narrator read in a weirdly boring way and the voice she used for the main female character annoyed me. I’m not sure if the pace of the beginning felt so slow due to the writing or the narrator. But, it was incredibly difficult to engage with the storyline and characters. I will try to return this title.

Not my favorite

LOVE Nancy’s books, but I’m sorry to say that this one failed to capture my attention.
