Riley Sager did it again! This was the summer thriller I needed. The 90s nostalgia was strong and reminded me of those summer camp horror stories. I loved how realistic the ending seemed and how all the pieces connected together. Although I guessed some of the twists,I didn’t even mind because I was so engaged by the atmosphere of Hemlock Circle, my curiosity constantly piqued by the goings-on of the suburbanites.
I’d recommend this book to fans of:
- R.L. Stine
- True crime
- Vintage ephemera
- Slow burn mysteries
- Suburban settings
- Everyone is a suspect-type books
- Reads that have you questioning what’s real and what’s fantasy
Thank you to Tandem Collective, Penguin Random House Canada, and the author for a gifted copy of this book. I loved joining in on this readalong and theorizing with the other participants about how the story would unravel and whodunnit.
