“A deplorable villain, tantalizing characters, and a hint of romance mix with the twists. What more could a reader ask for? One hopes that Hayman will continue this gripping series.” - Library Journal (starred review) on DARKNESS FIRST
The strength of his books are his characters. They feel like real people, not unlike the characters that Hayman created while working on Madison Avenue.” - Portland Press Herald on DARKNESS FIRST
“What makes this novel stand out from other mysteries is the strong character based story with many twists and turns.” - Blackfive.net on DARKNESS FIRST
Portland author James Hayman’s story craft in the opening of “Darkness First” is taut, the pacing tight, the horror enacted in the darkness vibrant with grisly tension. And he’s only getting started...Hayman does not let up in his nearly faultless plotting or in his depiction of an incredible cast of characters...Hayman is among Maine’s best mystery/thriller writers today. The subtly of his skill is so fine that he makes it seem effortless. - Portland Press Herald on DARKNESS FIRST
