"She never knew that blood looked black in the dark."
Jennifer Hillier has once again cemented her position as one of my top auto-buy authors!
Things We Do In The Dark is a mystery wrapped around the portrait of lost souls.
Paris Peralta's husband Jimmy - a famed comedian and actor - is found dead in a bloody bathtub in their home. Paris is immediately suspected of murder, opening up the story to not only the circumstances of Jimmy's death, but the years that came before that day.
I went into this dark suspense rather blind, trusting that Hillier's writing would once again have me whipping through the pages.
Indeed she did. The pacing is note-perfect, the dark tone what we've come to expect from the author.
Absolutely recommended!
