Terence Bailey is about to be released from prison for breaking and entering, though investigators have long suspected him in the murders of six women. As his freedom approaches, Bailey gets a surprise visit from Maddison Logan, a hot, young influencer with a huge social media following. Hours later, Maddison disappears, and police suspect she’s been kidnapped—or worse. Is Maddison’s disappearance connected to her visit to Bailey? Why was she visiting him in the first place?
When they hit a wall in the investigation, the FBI reluctantly asks for Rachel’s help in finding the missing influencer. Maddison seems only to exist on social media; she has no family, no friends, and other than in her posts, most people have never seen her. Who is she, really? Using a fake Instagram account, Rachel Krall goes undercover to BuzzCon, a popular influencer conference, where she discovers a world of fierce rivalry that may have turned lethal.
When police find the body of a woman with a tattoo of a snake eating its tail, the FBI must consider a chilling possibility: Bailey has an accomplice on the outside and a dangerous obsession with influencers, including Rachel Krell herself. Suddenly a target of a monster hiding in plain sight, Rachel is forced to confront the very real dangers that lurk in the dark corners of the internet.
I wasn't a big fan of Night Swim, but I when I picked up Dark Corners, I didn't initially know that it was a sequel to Night Swim. I think that you could read this one as a completely stand alone book. The only thing that the two really have in common is Rachel Krall, the true Crime Podcaster. I did end up really liking this one.
Rachel ended up being a much better written character in this book. I ended up really liking her and would actually read another book with her in it. You get to know her much more and she grew on me. Maybe it was making her the main character that gave her more depth. The mystery was also really good. It's got some twists and kept me guessing. I would recommend this one. You can totally disregard Night Swim and just read this one. You'll like Rachel a lot more.
