Product Description
Cancer survivor Hannah Ives looked Death in the eye . . . and walked away victorious. But the terror she once felt in its shadow pales before the ice-cold fear that now grips her heart in the wake of an unthinkable crime: the kidnapping of Hannah's innocent grandson.
One-year-old Tim vanished from the day care center at the luxurious upscale spa his parents recently opened, and the lack of a ransom note suggests the innocent child may have fallen into the hands of the worst sort of fiend. Hannah will find no peace until the boy is found and his abductor punished—not even taking comfort in the caring words of a dear friend and spiritual advisor whose own life and marriage may be haunted by something dark and sinister. But the hunt may be leading Hannah to places she never dreamed she'd have to go . . .

A good book!, Aug 29 2006
By Armchair Interviews - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Through The Darkness: A Hannah Ives Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
Marcia Talley has won the Agatha and Anthony Awards. Through the Darkness is the sixth Hannah Ives Mystery.
Hannah Ives is a six-year breast-cancer survivor. But the terror she felt fighting cancer is nothing to the terror she feels following the kidnapping of her one-year-old grandson, Tim.
Hannah's son-in-law Dante Shemansky would prefer to be known as simply Dante. He's a man with big dreams and he has a dream in the making. He's turning a former restaurant into a 20,000-square-foot day spa that is the epitome of luxury. It even boasts a day care center for children that is being readied by Emily, Hannah's daughter.
Right before the opening of the day spa, Hannah's grandson, goes missing from the day care center. Because there is no ransom note, it is believed that a monster has taken the child. Hannah won't rest until she finds her grandson, but her quest may be beyond dangerous.
I enjoy heroines that are middle-aged. It is proof (I knew) that women of a certain age are strong, smart and resourceful. Hannah is all that and more. I intend to read her previous novels.
Armchair Interviews says: Through the Darkness is a page-turner.

exciting all the way, Oct 13 2006
By Susan B. Miller "author of Indigo Rose and Di... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Through The Darkness: A Hannah Ives Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
The characters really came to life for me and there was never slow page. The dialogue and plot movement--everything worked. But the best was definitely the character development. Hannah Ives is a very real, human, engaging narrator.

Suspenseful, emotional and engrossing, Sep 29 2006
By Marian Burk Wood - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Through The Darkness: A Hannah Ives Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
Not your typical murder mystery--a baby disappears and a suspenseful drama begins, leading readers through a maze of police procedural activities and taut family emotions. I could not put this book down once the baby was gone. Marcia Talley's done it again! Well written and highly recommended.
Listmania!
