WHAT SECRETS LIE SHROUDED IN DARKNESS? Okay, so jogging through Central Park after midnight wasn't a bright idea. But Margrit Knight never thought she'd encounter a dark new world filled with magical beings -- not to mention a dying woman and a mysterious stranger with blood on his hands. Her logical lawyer instincts told her it couldn't all be real -- but she could hardly deny what she'd seen...and touched. The mystery man, Alban, was a gargoyle. One of the fabled Old Races who had hidden their existence for centuries. Now he was a murder suspect, and he needed Margrit's help to take the heat off him and find the real killer. And as the dead pile up, it's a race against the sunrise to clear Alban's name and keep them both alive...

Great Paranormal Mystery
This book starts out with lawyer Margrit, Grit, running through Central Park at midnight and having a guy approach her. When she gets home she learns that a woman was murdered in the part and a witness describes the murderer as the guy that approached her. Alban, a gargoyle, is fascinated with Grit and wants to clear his name. So, he keeps approaching her to try to get his side heard.
<br />
<br />The idea is that their are five Old Races that live along side of humans. They have there own set of laws and mainly want to remain hidden. When Grit decides that she believes Alban, she learns about the Old Races. Not knowing much more, she starts making deals and such to solve who is behind the killings.
<br />
<br />The book started with a bang and just kept going. I could not put it down. I like the development, the character differences, and the flow of the story. I would recommend this to anyone that likes paranormal mysteries.

Really great read
C.E. Murphy has a unique style, I think. I like that her characters are not too whiney or unrealistically brave. I read this book in two days. Yes, I disappeared from my family for two days while I was caught up in this world of gargoyles. lol
<br />
<br />I've read her other series and I am glad that the character is way different. Also, her writing doesn't seem to be formula.
<br />
<br />Another thing I enjoy in her books is that she hasn't made sex the main plot to the book. It seems that is a recurring theme these days. I don't have anything against eroticism in a book, I love a good sex scene, but I love a good plot more.
<br />
<br />Good story line, I really look forward to reading more of her books.
