This book had me sat for two hours straight at one point, completely unaware of how much time had passed. For me, the pace was perfect. Each chapter I finished, I was itching to keep reading into the late hours of the night.
One thing that I don’t quite understand is the relation of the title to the plot. I personally didn’t find a strong “home before dark” theme at all.In fact, everything happened AT the home IN the dark.
Overall, another really dark, tense and great read from Riley Sager. I’m never disappointed 🫶

Sometimes I’m afraid to start a thriller for the sheer fear of being disappointed. This one however was the opposite, and had me genuinely afraid at parts, shocked by plot twists, and up too late reading it in one sitting. Perfect haunted house vibes with Victorian era creepiness, murder, and a New England setting. Probably won’t stop thinking about it for a while
