Darkness, My Old Friend is a novel by bestselling author Lisa Unger.
It is the second book set in The Hollows, and features Jones Cooper.
[1] Tim O'Connell of The Florida Times-Union wrote that the "plotting at times is as intricate as the mine shafts that undermine the town".
[2] Kirkus Reviews wrote that Unger "shows her usual deftness at intricate plotting and explores the mother-child relationship from multiple angles, but too often refers to back story from a previous novel without explanation.
"[3] Publishers Weekly wrote: "As with Fragile, the secluded nature of the town easily lends itself to long-gestating secrets, which Unger handles much better in this follow-up that's as much about uncovering the past as it is about accepting the future.
