Marriage is scary. Dead bodies are worse.
Newly engaged Maddie Swallows has done the marriage thing before, and she’s terrified to do it again. Even with someone as perfect as Benji.

But what begins as a wonderful adventure quickly takes a horrifying turn when, at the bottom of the caverns, the lights go out. When they turn back on, their tour guide is dead.
Trapped with a murderer in the deepest part of the caverns, with no ability to contact help, Maddie and her family must pull together to find the killer so their group gets out safely, and there isn’t a second victim.

Twisty, closed, location, intriguing, cozy, mystery!
Dead in the Dark is a twisty, close location, intriguing, cozy mystery. Maddie’s pre-wedding trip to the Carlsbad Caverns with Benji and her kids quickly becomes the scene of another body, their tour guide! Knowing that they are trapped deep in the caverns with the murderer is not keeping anyone calm! You do not want to miss Maddie, on masking the murderer, and how they get out of the caverns. I could not put the book down!
Excellent Mystery with Great Characters
This 6th book in the Maddie Swallows series was an enjoyable read with a storyline that kept me guessing until the very end. I was delighted with the way the author worked this mystery into a family trip, and how each member of the family helped (or tried to help!) solve the mystery. And oh, that epilogue! What a cliffhanger! I can't wait to read the next book in the series. This is a series that I've purchased and highly enjoyed in the past and this installment didn't disappoint.
