Middle of the Night: A Novel

Very slow start….. but an ok read …. Not a 1st recommendation if your not much of a reader…

Slow start then it just dragged on. Hard read

Read utilizing the Libby app and my local library. Support your local library!!! This was a good read, right at the tail end of summer. Resonates a but different reading it at night. Wouldve loved to see the pictures from the trail cam involved in book while it was happening in the story (a la Hidden Pictures) that would've made the scenes a little more heightened, but a great thriller read. My first Sager book and definitely not the last.

Riley Sager’s latest novel “Middle of the Night” feels on par with the rest of the novels that I’ve read from him so far. It’s a strong story that has twist, after twist, after twist, leaving you breathless by the end. It can feel like whiplash at times, but I honestly don’t mind, becuase it ends up making the novel even more fun to read. I wish that there was a little more of the supernatural elements present in the book, since it stuck its toes into the idea, but didn’t seem to fully commit. Still, I had a really fun time with this one, and honestly can’t wait to see what else Sager has to offer. In the meantime, I think it’s finally time to read the other novels that he’s published, since I’ve honestly had such a good time with the three that I’ve now read.

This book was eerie and kept me engaged but I feel like it was more about the characters than what actually happened to Billy. A lot of story telling. I wanted more of the institution and what went on in there. The ending was okay-ish. Not what I saw coming but wasn’t a BIG twist either.
