    About this audiobook

    The newspaper reported the case with relish. Jane (Jinx) Kingsley, fashion photographer and heiress, tried to kill herself after being unceremoniously jilted by her fiance, Leo Wallader. Leo has disappeared—together with Jinx's best friend Meg Harris. But when she wakes from her coma, Jinx can remember nothing about her alleged suicide attempt. Nevertheless, Jinx is convinced that she would never try to kill herself over Leo.… Surely it was she who wanted to break the engagement.

    When the help of Dr. Alan Protheroe of the Nightingale Clinic, Jinx slowly begins to unlock her nightmares and piece together the fragments of the last few weeks. The truth about what happened to her lies deep within her mind. But what other terrifying memories is she about to disturb?

      This book was highly recommended to me by a friend. I was really dissapointed with this book as I felt it went on too long and the killer at the end could have been anybody as there was no clues as you went along as to who it was. Not sure if I would attempt another by Ms Walters.
    • 4/5
      It's an enthralling story from the first page until the very last one. Jane is suffering from an amnesia after an assumed suicide attempt. She is staying at a privat clinic whereas outside the incidents are in a turmoil. The police is believing that Jane is responsible for all murders which have taken place in the long and short past and they are trying hard to find enough evidences to convict Jane for all those dark doings. While Jane's doctor is trying to protect her from everybody she runs into mischief because she is trusting in her own kinship and those of her friends and can't see the danger.It also kept me guessing until the very end if Jane would find her new love in her doctor.
    • 3/5
      This is one of her best books. I still dont know who did it but it was well worth the suspense. Jinx is a character you learn to love through the twists and turns of the book, the unexpected villian leaves you plainly horrified. Having read Scolds Bridle this can however only come second. A tret for Minette walters fans
    • 3/5
      The Dark Room was a fairly average read, despite being fairly well written. While there were a few intriguing twists and the culprit was totally unexpected, this book was not as thrilling as it should have been. The characters seem rather cliched and most aspects of the plot are predictable. This is OK to read once, but I wouldn't go back for seconds.
    • 5/5
      Minette Walters is a very talented author, and her psychological thrillers cannot be beat for sheer terror and for audacity. She thinks nothing of leaving her readers way out in cold exploring motives and means, and then brings in the murderer somewhere from out in left field. This book is like that in spades. The characters in this book are truly intriguing. First there is Jinx Kingsley. She appears to be a suicide survivor with amnesia who has a reason and the wherewithal to kill. Then there is her father Adam who everyone knows is connected and would stoop at nothing to help those he loves. Jinx has two wastrel brothers who could be in the frame as well. I love the way these characters are developed, and the way that I learned to care for Jinx and to hope for the best for her when and if her memory ever came back. These books explore the darkest corners of the mind and I just can't stop turning pages.
