Falling for a Killer

Assistant DA Darcy Young. She's come home to her estranged parents' country dwellings due to her sister's pending nuptials to Thomas Schure. It's supposed to be a happy occasion, but Darcy is suspicious of the man. She can't help but poke holes in the whirlwind romance her sister is caught up in and Thomas isn't helping matters with his erratic behaviour. It's enough for Darcy to feel convinced that something isn't right about Thomas and he presents a danger to her whole family.

Will she be able to convince everyone of her suspicions or will it be up to Darcy to save the day before someone loses their life on her watch?

The first hour really sucks you in, but switches into a diversion as the killer shows his hand after the duck dinner. It makes a change from the usual cat and mouse, and the feeling of dread is heightened. The family are a little dense in not realising there was something wrong with the guy. Thomas Stoddard is very convincing in his role as the killer but he does go over the top. The rest of the cast is fine - it's an above average thriller, though the heroine blurting out at the dinner that he's a killer was an unwise thing to do.
