On the night of her husband Jay’s birthday party, Molly finds him murdered in his office. During the course of Detective Rita Myers’ investigation many other secrets are uncovered about Molly, her past and her group of friends.

“All The Dark Places” is a debut thriller from Terri Parlato that I could not put down. I finished this in one day because I was so invested in Molly’s story. I will be definitely be following what’s next from Terri Parlato!

I appreciated the different narrators for Molly and Rita. They both did an excellent job embracing their very different characters.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher to the opportunity to read this in exchange for my review.

The morning after Molly Bradley throws a birthday bash for her psychologist husband, Jay, she finds him murdered in his home office. Seasoned detective Rita Myers catches the case and begins to probe into Jay’s personal and professional life. As Rita investigates it becomes clear that Jay was not the man Molly thought he was, but then Molly isn’t quite the woman she’s claiming to be either. Told from both Molly and Rita’s perspectives this was a solid thriller/police procedural, the best part being Rita Meyers, a woman of a certain age who proves she still has what it takes to solve a brutal murder

There was one part of the plot that had me screaming at everyone that they were idiots. And it isn't till towards the end that it grts addressed. There were also a couple of side plots that I thought were unnecessary.

Otherwise, All the Dark Places led me in a million directions and I was sure I was going the right way. I was so lost, Google Maps told me to get a grip.

It is captivating right from the beginning, and even when you think all the twists have come? Put on your seat belt because you have no clue....

Holy Shit. A big-time thank you goes out to both Terri Parlato and Kensington Books for sending me this Advanced Reader's Copy of All the Dark Places prior to its publication date of December 27, 2022. I know this one is a bit away from hitting shelves, but I just couldn't miss out on the hype and I can't wait to provide some sneak-peek hype for all of you!

If you're in the mood for a Who-Dunnit with a twist that stings more than a backstabbing went deep, this is the one for you!

When Molly Bradley wakes up the morning after her husband's 40th Birthday celebration to find him dead, throat slit, while working in his home office, her focal point of calm is shattered. They had just spent a wonderful evening with friends... who could possibly want Jay, her husband, dead????

At the time, Jay was working as a Family Psychologist and penning his very own research towards a book, analyzing the psychological backgrounds of serial killers and the mentally unwell patients he catered to. Could one of his patients or an inmate be involved in his very untimely death? Fingers get pointed, questions get raised, and Molly begins to lose her sanity after this case goes unsolved for quite some time due to the lack of DNA evidence at play.

As multiple police forces and FBI teams get involved in the ongoing investigation, secrets get unveiled from friends, foes, and family members alike. Who is really to blame in this case and what is Molly hiding that has left her so paranoid surrounding this instance? You'll just have to wait until the end of 2022 to find out. Everyone in Graybridge, MA has a cookie-cutter life on the outside looking in, but not everyone's intentions are as pristine as one might suppose. Could a friend be a cold-blooded killer?
