Her eyes widen at her reflection in the steel blade as it comes closer, closer, closer…

Detective Madison Knight thought a midnight drive through the countryside would help clear her mind, but she thought wrong. Her car runs out of gas, stranding her in the middle of nowhere in pitch darkness. When she gets out to stretch her legs, the beam of her phone’s flashlight lands on a suitcase in the ditch. After she opens it, she’s sorry she did.

Tara Jackson was only twenty-one years old with her entire life ahead of her before she was stabbed to death and stuffed into a piece of luggage. Madison is determined to find her justice and soon uncovers that Tara was keeping secrets from those closest to her and suspects they may have gotten her killed. But while she’s exploring that lead, the body of another young woman is found in a sports equipment bag.

She looks just like Tara and is the same age, and Madison starts to wonder if the killer she’s after has killed before. Desperate, she turns to cold cases and missing person reports to see if she can dig up anything to further the investigation.

Madison finds eighteen-year-old Daphne Tucker, who was reported missing from the area three years ago. She’s a doppelganger to the other victims. Is the reason Daphne hasn’t been heard from because she’s dead too? And has her killer returned, hungry for more blood?

As Madison edges closer to the truth, someone is stalking her from the shadows, and she fears it just may be the twisted, demented killer she’s hunting. But can Madison outsmart him or her before she becomes the next victim?

Editorial Reviews for Her Dark Grave:

“A compact and often compelling police procedural.”

Kirkus Reviews

“A rush from beginning to end! We know from the very first page that Detective Madison Knight and her partner Detective Terry Grant are facing off against a serial killer who wants to know and enjoy the kill.”

Payton Puppy

“An exciting, tense, action filled thriller with many suspects… This is a very nasty case, with an evil murderer… If you enjoy mysteries, police procedurals, a tough as nails cop, then you need to be reading this series, as Carolyn Arnold is one of the best in police procedure stories.”

The Reading Café

“A good mix of suspense and police investigation and has an action-filled ending. Readers are quickly pulled into the story line with a writing style that grabs and holds one’s attention. Fluid writing, great characterization, and a mystery to be solved kept me engaged. The storyline is gripping in this unsettling thriller that is alarming at times. I also enjoyed the threads weaving Madison’s person life into the story. Themes include murder, friendship, domestic violence, and more. The real-world issues added depth to the narrative… captivated me from the first page to its last. The author did a great job of building suspense throughout the story and weaving the threads together.”

Mystery and Suspense Magazine

“This is an intense mystery that kept me engaged.”

Colleen, NetGalley

“Thriller with a lot of intrigue, suspense and twists and turns… the story is gripping with an involving plot that kept me guessing the identity of the perpetrator and had me reading long past bedtime.”

Joan, NetGalley

“This was an engrossing, fast-paced read. Arnold knows how to capture and maintain her readers’ interest… This latest addition to the [Detective Madison Knight] series is sure to please fans of police procedurals/mysteries.”

Vickie, Goodreads

“This is a great police procedural and mystery with a team of characters that have distinctive personalities… This entire mystery is bone chilling and frightening at times, but it will wrap you in its tentacles and not let you go until you tap to the final page. This was a captivating serial murder mystery with a twist of macabre. There is an occasional chapter interspersed throughout the book from the viewpoint of the disturbed killer which will give you chill bumps as you read their viewpoint. So, you will probably need to read this one with the lights on.”
