Darkest Hour - Book Four in the Sanctuary Point Series

[Tracy Krauss]

Darkest Hour is the fourth in the Sanctuary Point Series of murder mysteries by author Nike Chillemi. The series takes place during the post World War Two era in Sanctuary Point, a quaint New England town. In this fourth installment, Chief Medical Examiner Hank Jansen champions accused murderess, Lucinda Byrne when her boss, one of the town’s doctors, if found shot to death. There are plenty of twists and turns as the mystery unravels, and of course, love blossoms as Hank and Lucinda help one another deal with previous loss. We also meet up with several characters that we’ve come to know and love from the three previous books. Chillemi continues to write with an authentic and endearing style which matches the era perfectly. Reading this book made me want to go back and re-read the other three – which for me is truly the test of a great book.
