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.
