About the Book:
Writer's apprentice Lena London is back and better than ever when her friend bestselling suspense novelist Camilla Graham needs help solving a town murder that hits a little too close to home...
It's summertime, and Lena and Camilla are busy working away while a town vandal runs amok. Things get even more complicated when Jane Wyland pays Camilla a not-so-friendly visit and gives her an ultimatum: reveal Camilla's husband James's family secret, or she will. Lena assures Camilla that nothing will come of the woman's threats, since the family has no secrets to hide.
When Jane Wyland is later found dead, they're convinced that whatever secret she was planning to expose led to her death. With Lena's assistance, Camilla is determined to solve the case before the finger points at her...

My Review:
Death Waits in the Dark is another fantastic book in the Writer's Apprentice Mystery series. Having picked up almost where book 3 ended, Lena is living the dream as a co-author to her favorite author, Camilla Graham. With Nikon in police custody and baby Athena back in the arms of her mother, Victoria, Sam's ex-wife, life is starting to resemble something normal....that is until a blast from Camilla's past barges into her home and threatens her with exposure of a family secret unless Camilla, herself, comes clean. The only problem is, Camilla doesn't have an scandalous secrets to admit to anyone so she had no idea what Jane Wyland is even talking about. When Jane is found dead shortly after her visit to Camilla's, Lean knows they have to figure out what the secret is that she thinks ultimately lead to Jane's death.
I love Lena's character and her love and affection for everyone around her. Her relationship with Sam has been taken to the next level and they are so cute together. Lena's relationship with her mentor, Camilla, is one of mother/daughter (at least to me) and there is genuine affection between them - and with Camilla's guy, Adam. I love how Cliff was introduced in book 3 and how he fits right in with everyone in Blue Lake.
The twists, turns, and red herrings kept my mind actively trying to put the pieces together of this mystery. I didn't feel like there were any dull or slow moments as we spent more time with Lena, Sam, Cliff, Belinda, Doug, Allison, John, and of course, Camilla and Adam. It wasn't until the very end that I was able to put the pieces together and have the "ah ha" moment right along with the characters.
I reviewed a paperback I own.
