Things We Do in the Dark was a wild ride of what seems like a clear cut and closed case against Paris. This thriller bounces back and forth from the now, her being accused of murdering her spouse, and her childhood. Digging deep into Paris' scars where she experienced so many traumatic things that a child should never have experienced. 

There were many little twists to this story where I could predict some of the story, but there were still quite a few little surprises.
