New Thrillers Enter The Heart Of Darkness In Two Novels

Peter Moore Smith’s Raveling examines a family’s unraveling after loss through a troubled Pilot and a wary brother surgeon, while Crass’s Demolition Angel follows LAPD bomb squad veteran Carol Starkey into a tense serial bombing case. The review notes strong, dark suspense and sharp character work across both books.
