This book is a great read from beginning to end. The entire book takes place over a couple days so its packed with dialgue and action. The characters are interesting and the plot is solid. I look forward to reading more from Michael Prescott!

Prescott is turning into the "Stephen King" of psychothrillers, and that's a compliment. IN DARK PLACES is a strange mixture of psychological terror, serial killer mania, and dirty cops! Robin Cameron, coming out of an abusive childhood, is a psychiatrist who wants to believe that any person can be "rehabilitated" and return to a useful role in society. This is severely challenged with two of her patients: a self-absorbed serial killer named Justin Gray, and a cop on the take, Alan Brand. Prescott pulls out the stops in giving us several suspects, and manages to pull off a couple major surprises.
The book moves at a good pace, and there are several exciting scenes.
Well worth the read!

I cannot comprehend why any (somewhat intelligent) reader would Like this book. Perhaps this book was beneath my reading standards. I found it irritating and poorly written. I am usually kind to authors, especially when it's my first book by that author. This book,it's story line, plot were predictiable and trite, the pathetic nature of the characters, was very DISAPPOINTING. I bought this book, hardcover full price due to reviews, well I say shame shame reviewers, what a rip off.
The characters who were purposed to be intelligent and emotional, were... well.... Quite... STUPID, UNREALISTIC and I have seen more emotion in a rock, more intelligence in a Ham. I do not wish to attack Mr. Prescott's writting, and I so hope that his other books are more substancial. Yet this book I have to say is well NOT EVEN OKAY (to me that is).Give Me Break!
The senerio, the research the premise, well my opinion is , HATED IT. Perhaps for a simple reader it is acceptable. Wouldn't recommend to a fourth grade reading level prison inmate. Sorry!
Outstanding achievement February 3, 2004

A rip-roaring, bloody, disgusting, gritty, ludicrous-speed paced, darkly humorous, mind-f*ck of a ride through the minds of the most twisted and perverse people I have ever witnessed. No one is decent in this novel, no one can be trusted. Everyone has their own sick agenda and thier own traumatic past. This novel will knock you flat. This is not for the light of heart or people who are easily offended. this book will offend you no matter what. It may even cause you to have a convulsing of the stomach or a rapidly fast heart-beat.You care about these characters and you want them to be okay. you want so bad to trust them, but you know their nature and you find that it can never be possible. Everything that is said is a game or diversion that is ultimately leading to a larger scheme of things that will selfishly benefit themselves. I may be over-exaggerating, but I could feel the pain and the blood splatter that went on in this novel. Every emotion took a life of it's own as I hung on to every word. Read this book. you WILL NOT regret it.
