Darkest Night by Jenny O’Brien
Darkest Night is the second in my Welsh-set crime series featuring second-generation Italian detective, Gaby Darin.
About Darkest Night
Christine De Bertrand wakes up to her worst nightmare: rather than the man she went to bed with, lying beside her is her housemate, Nikki – dead. With no memory of the night before, Christine can’t explain what happened, and the police are baffled.
For DC Gaby Darin, newly arrived from
Swansea after her last case ended in tragedy, it’s a mystery she’s determined
to solve. When another woman goes missing, Gaby faces a race against time to
uncover the link between the two victims and find the man who vanished from
Christine’s bedroom. But as Gaby gets close, the killer gets closer – and soon
one of Gaby’s own team is in unimaginable danger…
Two short
passages where each describes the characteristics of the other – good and bad
DC Gabriella
Darin was annoyed at the persistent ringing of her doorbell. She’d switched off
her phone the night before and, after a long luxurious bath filled to the brim
with her favourite bath oil, she’d towelled and plaited her hair before
climbing into bed with her Kindle and a plate of rice cakes in preparation for
the lie-in she’d planned – her first in ages. The rice cakes were the only
discordant note in her ideal evening, that and the lack of a man to share both
her bath and her bed. But her life was a work in progress. After being forced
out of her last job for nearly causing the death of a civilian, she was
determined to focus on her career before tackling any of the other issues.
The sound of a key turning in the lock had her stepping forward, a weak smile on her lips at the kindness of the tall, handsome man pulling the door open and gesturing for her to follow.
Who would
you choose to play each of them in a film or TV series?
An interesting
question and one I find impossible to answer.
For Gaby Darin
it needs to be someone who isn’t too glamorous, someone normal looking if there
is such a thing. A cross between a young Judi Dench with the colouring of
Nigella Lawson.
It’s even more
difficult to choose a baddie! Maybe someone like Jason O’Mara
What is the
weirdest disposal of a body in any of your books?
The use of a
junior hacksaw to do what junior hacksaws were never intended to do.
