Representaion During Books A Darker Place

A respected university professor, Anne Waverly has a past known to few: Years ago, her own unwitting act cost Anne her husband and daughter. Fewer still know that this history and her academic specialty—alternative religious movements—have made her a brilliant FBI operative. Four times she has infiltrated suspect communities, escaping her own memories of loss and carnage to find a measure of atonement. Now, as she begins to savor life once more, she has no intention of taking another assignment. Until she learns of more than one hundred children living in the Change movement's Arizona compound.... Anne soon realizes that Change is no ordinary community and hers is no ordinary mission. For, far from appeasing the demons of her past, this assignment is sweeping her back into their clutches...and to the razor's edge of danger.

Judgment Out Of Books A Darker Place

The audio book A DARKER PLACE was over 14 hours long. I finish audio books quickly, because they are my companions for dish washing and laundry and on and on! I enjoyed the angle of this book; a teacher who goes undercover for the FBI investigating cults. The protagonist is extremely intelligent and complicated. I love characters who are introspective and questioning their life experiences. I really enjoyed this book and regret there was no sequel.

King has a least two 'series' sets going, one following Mary Russel--the one-time protege of Sherlock Holmes, who now appears as her husband--and one following an SFPD cop from the 1990s, who happens to be a dyke and who happens to be hilarious.Now, in A Darker Place, she introduces a new protagonist (Anne Waverly), but does so in a way that makes it seem as if she's already written at least three books about her. The references to this character's past are so elaborate, so detailed, and yet

It's been a long time since a book has captured me as thoroughly as this one. The development of the main character was bumpy at first, then settled into a gentle swell. Her backstory evolved in a unique way, deepening as the plot grew more compelling, simultaneously enriching the plot. At times the raw foreboding was too much to endure; I would put the book down in order to get my bearings. It was the perfect book for my recovery from surgery-- just enough intellectual punch to tantalize, just

Anne Waverly suffered greatly after the deaths of her husband and young daughter. Involved in a religious cult, her husband and daughter were part of a group suicide while she was away. Now she is a sometimes undercover agent for the FBI, going into religious groups where cult activity is suspected. She thought she was finished with this work, and had settled down to her teaching as a University professor or religious studies. But, the FBI had one more assignment for her. And this one might just

Set in Sedona AZ, it felt familiar, I am almost positive that I have read it before but even its ending was a surprise. The cult theme of the book was somewhat upsetting.

I had read this years ago and thought it was extraordinary. There was a day in February when I needed to set the alarm at 3:30 a.m. to take some meds in advance of a procedure, and then stay awake while the meds took effect. I needed something familiar to read, so I went to my shelf of Laurie King books and rediscovered this one. I finished it during my recovery from said procedure. I'm so glad I reread it. Since the time I first read it, I have taken up sketching, and it was wonderful to

this book would have been good if it hadn't been for a few scenes. now, all this may be normal to mothers but I am not one so to me it's weird AF. my breast do not swell in anticipation of nursing or the thought of it when a 5 year old child gets near me, or any child for that matter. I do not have lustful thoughts about 14 year old boys. this is some of the weird that is the main character. if all that had been left out, this would've been a little better.
