Exposed in Darkness

By: Heather Sunseri

Narrated by: Emily Sutton-Smith, Alan Smyth

Just days before the running of the biggest thoroughbred horse race in the world, an act of bioterrorism kills Kentucky's lieutenant governor, and former FBI Special Agent Brooke Fairfax receives a video of the murder from her long-time anonymous source. When Brooke discovers domestic terrorists are actually after the governor - her late husband's brother - and that the radicals are eyeing more targets, she heads to Kentucky to stop the threat.

Shortly after the political assassination, the FBI zeroes in on one person: international mogul Declan O'Roark. Though Brooke has been out of the game since her husband was murdered, her former boss thinks she is the perfect candidate to connect Declan to the crime. Despite the FBI clearly establishing means and opportunity, Declan remains unfazed; his motives have nothing to do with murder, but with getting closer to Brooke Fairfax. And Brooke finds the case becoming even more unclear as she falls for the FBI's number-one suspect.

5* Story!

if you can get through the 1st few chapters of the book, you will be glad you stuck with it if you love a good thriller suspense with a little romance thrown in. This would have been a 5 ⭐ book all around if the female narrator didn't sound like a robot 90% of her read. The tone of her voice, along with the story made it tolerable to endure listening to the book.

Interesting thriller.

Great story and plot with lots of twists. Really liked the characters, location, and love interest. Irish billionaire that owns thorobred race horses, romantic with closed door sex.

Good Story!

The beginning starts off a but slow, but picks up and improves for the rest of the book.

If you are from KY this will be very annoying

The story is not bad but for some reason the author changed the names of some places while leaving others correct. She describes a place and I can actually name it from her description but then she calls it some variation of its actually name. Midland for Midway. Kensington race track for Keeneland. But still calls Lexington and Frankfort by the correct names. This wouldn't be so bad but the Bluegrass Derby?? in Lexington?? Run for the black tulips?? I can't imagine why she would have to change the name of the Kentucky Derby held in Louisville, there can't be any sort of copyright issues to the most exciting 2 mins in sports. At first I thought she was talking about the Bluegrass Stakes but then details from both races were all jumbled together and I got confused.

The characters are also very Eve Dallas and Rourke but J.D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts) does a better job at it. Narrators did a good job and it is not a bad listen for people who don't know anything about what she is describing but for me it was just annoying.

I have a new favorite!

I really enjoyed the pace of this book. Kept me guessing til the end and I literally had a couple 'gasp' moments too. Narration was fantastic! I appreciate the male/female narrators. I especially love that the book takes place in my home state and cities I've even lived in. Southern accents were on point and not overdone. I'm starting book 2 immediately!
