jwheelock 's review for:

Middle of the Night by Riley Sager

2.0

---

2.5ish.

Idk kinda underwhelming. The format follows Sager's previous books, so if you've read his other stuff you'll have an idea of what is coming. Didn't scratch the itch I was looking to have scratched...onto the next one I suppose!

Spoiler

the ping ponging of blame has started to annoy me. It just becomes too much when there are seemingly infinite red herrings and not enough info for the reader to accurately guess what happened. On top of that it feels like the ending was a bit extreme and casual somehow. Like specifically why is the culprit in jail so long, and why is the MC now dad?
