A review by marc
As Night Falls by Jenny Milchman

4.0

Fast-paced, psychological thriller based near the Adirondack Mountains. A great vacation read, as long as your vacation is not in a remote, snowy location near a prison.

Sandy, Ben and their teenage daughter, Ivy, live in Ben’s dream house in a remote area of upstate New York. Raising a teenager is emotionally draining for anyone, including the teenager, but Sandy’s secret past is about to make their lives a lot more complicated.

Clues are cleverly interspersed throughout the book, leading the reader to deduce some, but not all, of the outcomes. Short chapters make it easy to read the book in between other activities, but you may want to settle in and binge-read this one.

Thanks to NetGalley and Random House-Ballantine Books for this ARC.
