3.0

"Leave the Lights On" by Liv Andersson unfolds a complex tale set in the idyllic Cape Morgan, Maine, unveiling secrets that threaten to shatter Beatrice Wicker's seemingly perfect life. While the premise held promise, the execution lacked the gripping suspense I anticipated, leaving me wanting more compared to Andersson's previous works. The intricate web of hidden truths and the stakes involved were compelling, yet the story fell short in delivering the anticipated chills and thrills, leaving room for a deeper emotional connection to the characters.
