Middle of the Night by Riley Sager is going to haunt me long past when I finished the book. The way that the supernatural and living work together to unearth the truth of a 30 year old disappearance of a neighborhood boy in tight knit community. 

PROS: 
⚾️The baseballs 
⛺️Backyard camping 
⚾️Ghost hunting 
⛺️”weird” kids 
⚾️People stepping up to take care of each other 
⛺️All the layers to the events of the night Billy went missing
⚾️The Institute 

CONS: 
⛺️How the loss of Billy tore his family apart and messed with his mother’s sanity. 
⚾️The fact it took 30 years before there was accountability 
⛺️Relationships getting destroyed by other people’s lies 
⚾️All the pain people went through and caused because we didn’t know the truth. 

⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️ out of five baseballs tossed over the fence on a hot summer day
