Home Before Dark

This is probably my second favorite book by Riley Sager, but for me, it still wasn’t as suspenseful as The Last Time I Lied. It was a decent book, but I found it predictable.

Truly terrifying! I had to put the book on the floor one night, so convinced I was of the book's haunting ability that i did not want the book on the bed by me!

Enjoyed this. I listened to the audiobook because I saw that the story was told between the past and the present from the perspectives of a father and daughter and the narration was excellent. Spooky and atmospheric, with a ton of twists and turns along the way.

Home Before Dark is an excellent mystery with emotional stakes and unexpected twists. I even had to stop from time to time and writemyessay.ae while watching because the storytelling and atmosphere were terrific.

Despite the many glowing reviews, this book was just okay for me. I’m not sure if my expectations were too high, but I don’t understand all the hype. The narrators didn’t fully capture the creepy atmosphere the story was going for, which took away from the overall suspense. That said, the book does a great job of keeping you guessing. Every time I thought I had the mystery figured out, another twist proved me wrong. While the story drags at times and feels a bit slow, there are plenty of turns that keep you engaged. I was hoping for something truly scary and chilling, but for me, it fell a little flat in terms of suspense. If you’re looking for a mystery with lots of twists, this could be a good fit—but if you’re after a truly scary read, it may not fully deliver.
