This is the third book I've read from Riley Sager and it's probably my third favorite. That being said I still enjoyed reading it. Middle of the Night is a great book to read if you're reading for atmosphere or if you're on a camping trip. It gives the best outside at night in the middle of summer vibes, and to me personally, it also gives stranger things and IT vibes. If this book was a tv show/movie I'd binge it for the mystery and nostalgia. It is definitely a slow burn but it picks up in the last 100 or so pages. Mostly predictable but still had a good twist that wrapped things up nicely in the end.
