Bright lights. Big city. Brutal murder. Chicago, 1938. Late one night before the ten o'clock show, the body of a prominent radio actress is found in the station's lounge. All the evidence points to murder--and one young, up-and-coming radio actress, Vivian Witchell, as the next victim. But Vivian isn't the type to leave her fate in the hands of others--she's used to stealing the show. Alongside charming private detective Charlie Haverman, Vivian is thrust into a world of clues and motives, suspects and secrets. And with so much on the line, Vivian finds her detective work doesn't end when the on-air light goes out... The gripping first novel in a new series from debut author Cheryl Honigford, The Darkness Knows is a thrilling mystery that evokes the drama and scandal of radio stardom in prewar Chicago.
Fun read! The characters are pretty one dimensional still, but they have a lot of room to grow. Also the world building made up for the characters for sure. I clocked who the murderer was before the murder occurred, but not the motive, so that's exciting!
Quite a page turner!

Great mystery book! The main character unrealistically flip flopped her emotions a few times, but overall I read this book way faster than I wanted since I couldn't put it down! I'm so glad there's more to read by this author.
