The Dark Path
by Michelle Sacks
In the adult thriller debut novel The Dark Path by: Michelle Sacks, a woman named Merry has moved with her husband Sam to Sweden. They have a son named Conor who Merry takes care of, while Sam goes out to find work. But, what if all is not as it seems? What if both Merry and Sam Hurley both have skeletons in their closets? Will Merry's friend Frank figure out the truth before it's too late? Or, will all that Merry's worked for come apart at the seams?
This book was probably the most corrupt of books that I have read, with toxicity levels that are off the charts! There is SO much deception and betrayal happening under the Hurley's roof that you can't help but find yourself getting sucked in! Also, this book has a very unique writing style in which the author does not use any quotation marks whatsoever and puts dialogue on the same line as the narrative portion. This can make it hard to follow at first but does not take away from the overall suspense and mystery within its pages. If anything, the writing style reminds me of its main character Merry Hurley, with her 'plain-Jane' appearance and behavior, akin to Anne Conti's demeanor from The Couple Next Door. Both women are very similar but are also very different. That book focused on postpartum depression and while not explicitly mentioned, could explain the root of all of Merry's issues throughout this novel.
If you enjoy domestic, contemporary thrillers than this one might be worth giving a shot! It's very entertaining to say the least...
