The Comfort of Black
Linda avatar reviewed on + 770 more book reviews


Hannah survived childhood abuse and raising her younger sister to become a very happy woman with a handsome and loving husband, who also happens to be very rich. The only thing missing from her life is a child of her own to love.

As with most marriages, problems crop up here and there, and Hannah can only wonder why the spark has gone out of their marriage. The one night she hears her husband talking in his sleep .... almost admitting that he has raped and killed at least one woman.

Instead of running, she confronts him, wants to know what's happening in his life. He responds by throwing her against the wall and choking her.

She finally gets the message when she is nearly abducted and a man named Black intervenes to save her life.

From here on out, it's like a roller coaster of lies, lies, and more lies. You really can't trust anything you see or hear, and you don't dare trust anyone you know ... not even your own family.

Quite a convoluted story! I absolutely got lost in trying to figure out who was who and what was truth and what was fiction.

Couldn't put it down ... I was too afraid of forgetting all the little bits and dabs that were driving the story.

If you like mysteries or puzzles, I think you will like this one!
