Darkness, My Old Friend - Lisa Unger
              "U" Author

This was not a "gripping" thriller for me.  It was a good story , a little predictable at times but certainly kept my interest. 

In the 2nd book in the Hollows series,  we meet up with Jones Cooper who is now a retired cop. The book hints at something that happened in "Fragile", the first in the series but I did not remember what that was so I was a little lost at times.

We also are reintroduced to Eloise Montgomery, the local psychic.  She visits Jones and lists his help in an old case, a woman who disappeared 25 years ago.  It is slow moving but the character and story line are developed well.  I would suggest reading "Fragile" first, though. 

Goodreads  summary::

New York Times bestselling author Lisa Unger returns to The Hollows in this "gripping psychological thriller" (Publishers Weekly) that uses the fears found in everyday life to keep readers up all night. "This is one book that will have you racing to the last page, only to have you wishing the ride wasn’t over.” (Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author)

After giving up his post at the Hollows Police Department, Jones Cooper is at loose ends. He is having trouble facing a horrible event from his past and finding a second act. He's in therapy. Then, on a brisk October morning, he has a visitor. Eloise Montgomery, the psychic who plays a key role in Fragile, comes to him with predictions about his future, some of them dire.
