Thriller junkies, meet your latest fix: All The Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker. Part mystery part coming-of-age story, All The Colors of the Dark centers around the small town of Monta Clare, Missouri, where young girls are disappearing. But when the daughter of a wealthy family is targeted, the most unlikely hero emerges — Patch, a local boy, who saves the girl, and, in doing so, leaves heartache in his wake.
This novel stands out as one of the best reads I’ve encountered since Demon Copperhead, thanks to Whitaker’s exceptional storytelling and evocative writing style.
