One dead body. One witness. One answer.Early one morning, DS Robin
Butler is summoned to a crime scene. Not as a policeman, but as
best friend to renowned meteorologist, Dr Finn Mason. The morning
after studying an enormous storm, Finn has locked himself in a van.
Bloodied, confused, and with no memory of how he came to be there.
And alongside him - a dead body. Butler sets out to prove Finn's
innocence, his friend now accused of murder. Meanwhile, DC Freya
West is struggling to cope. She has been plagued by nightmares
since the events of nine months ago. Freya assists her boss on his
quest to clear Finn's name, but while Butler becomes increasingly
desperate to help his boyhood friend, Freya is crumbling under the
weight of the secrets she is keeping. As the past threatens to
consume them both, do both detectives stand to lose more than they
can bear? A tense and atmospheric police procedural from the author
of the unforgettable Last Place You Look. Praise for Under a Dark
Cloud 'A great and unique locked room mystery that had me guessing
all the way through to a fantastic ending. Under a Dark Cloud is
full of drama, mystery and tension. One of my favourite series
around.' James Delargy 'A coiled and wholly satisfying mystery,
elevated by melancholic piquancy. The authentic police thrills and
teasing dynamics of the characters are handled with the same
elegance as the rueful climax, which long after the book is closed
still feels perfect and inevitable.' Dominic Nolan 'Once again
Louisa Scarr has created a thoroughly believable world in which to
set a brilliantly compulsive story. The characters are so
well-drawn that it's a pleasure to spend time with them, and I
can't wait for number three!' Alison Belsham 'Characters I care
about, inventive plot and expert storytelling -a big thumbs up from
me.' Fliss Chester 'A fast-paced and deft meteorological mystery
that twists its way to a brilliant conclusion. Scarr's characters
are beautifully realised, flawed and complex - their stories make
the quiet moments every bit as rewarding as the dramatic ones. If
you haven't already read Butler & West, you're in for a
treat...' Heather Critchlow 'A must read for fans of U.K. Crime
Fiction. A fast paced addictive story. A locked room murder with an
original twist' NetGalley review 'The plot is original, superbly
woven and the cast of characters is made up of well developed and
engaging individuals. Overall, a captivating, suspenseful and
atmospheric page-turner with more than enough going on to keep you
invested. Highly recommended.' NetGalley Review 'I absolutely loved
this!' NetGalley Review 'I read this very happily in two sessions
and am await more in the series. Well worth reading!' NetGalley
Review 'Great premise. Well written. A page turner. Plenty of
suspense to keep me guessing .The ending leaving everything tied up
left me satisfied. Definitely will read her next offering.'
