All the Dark Places by Terri Parlato
3.0
3/5 Stars ⭐️
All The Dark Places by Terri Parlato is an enjoyable psychological thriller, though it didn’t quite stand out from others in the genre. The story follows a familiar setup — a mysterious murder in a seemingly perfect suburban setting — with secrets and betrayals slowly unraveling.
The writing itself is solid, and the pacing moves along well enough to keep you engaged. One of the book’s strengths is that it avoids overly graphic or triggering content, making it a good pick for readers who enjoy a lighter thriller without diving too deeply into dark or disturbing territory.
However, while nothing was wrong with the book per se, it lacked the edge or unique twist that might make it more memorable. The characters and plot points felt a bit predictable, blending into the mold of other domestic suspense novels. It’s not a bad read — it’s just not the kind that leaves a lasting impression.
If you’re in the mood for a straightforward, easy thriller that doesn’t demand too much emotional investment, this one’s worth a try. But for those seeking something more gripping or unpredictable, you may find it a bit underwhelming.
