I’m not going to read anymore of his books. I read The Only One Left first (the end left me thinking What!?). I started reading this one and it’s the same story- young lady with father issues, spooky house, quest to solve a mystery, have the hots for the hired help and then think he killed someone. It was the same story. At least the ending of this book made more sense than the 1st one but read. I’m done.
dark mysterious tense fast-paced

That didn’t not feel like a Riley Sager book, but in a good way. I actually got scared at times.

Riley Sager does it again. I just loved this one. A perfect read for October with the creepy vibes so many twists or directions things could go. A few that didn’t surprise, but then more just kept coming. Even if you already figured out a few, it didn’t even matter. Loved this book and didn’t want to put it down.
