| A very good storyline that holds one's interest from beginning to end. The characters have unusual names; however, they are common in Texas. The characters also possess unusual peculiarities that create an unspoken suspense throughout the unsolved mystery, a cold case involving a beautiful little girl, murdered, and an intuitive connection between she and the protagonist, a young female cop who has her own history with the deceased. The elements and characters in the author's mind are believably developed and researched before Julia Heaberlin commits them to We Are All the Same in the Dark. The genuine sense of tragic reality pulses in her pages until closure, or something like it, awaits its conclusion. |
