 Bloomsbury presents Here in the Dark by Alexis Soloski, read by Laura Benanti.

'Impressive' Financial Times
'Terrific' Guardian
'Elegant' Laura Shepperson

By night, Vivian Parry performs the role of Manhattan's sharpest literary critic, immersing herself fully in every show she sees. By day, she uses work, sex and psychotropic drugs to keep her comfortably numb.

Desperate for a promotion and at the urging of her editor, she agrees to an interview with David Adler, an enigmatic graduate student. When he later disappears, Vivian soon learns from his devastated fiancée that she was the last person to have seen him alive. The police refuse to investigate his disappearance and Vivian finds herself obsessed with what happened, assuming the role of amateur investigator.

But as she gets closer to the truth about David Adler, she finds that the boundaries between theatre and reality are more tenuous than even she could have believed.©2024 Alexis Soloski (P)2024 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Amateur Sleuths Detective International Mystery & Crime Mystery Psychological Thriller & Suspense Women Sleuths Women's Fiction Fiction Crime Suspense

What is theatre? What happens when acting spills into ‘real life’ or are we all playing roles all the time? Some unpleasant scenes about drug and emotional abuse but great plot twist. Superbly narrated.

Dark and complex

A witty clever novel very much of our time
