Things We Do in the Dark

"Propulsive and chilling." --People Magazine

"An intoxicating thrill ride. Hillier jams her foot on the accelerator and never lets up." --New York Times Book Review

Things We Do in the Dark is a brilliant new thriller from Jennifer Hillier, the award-winning author of the breakout novels Little Secrets and Jar of Hearts. Paris Peralta is suspected of killing her celebrity husband, and her long-hidden past now threatens to destroy her future.

When Paris Peralta is arrested in her own bathroom--covered in blood, holding a straight razor, her celebrity husband dead in the bathtub behind her--she knows she'll be charged with murder. But as bad as this looks, it's not what worries her the most. With the unwanted media attention now surrounding her, it's only a matter of time before someone from her long hidden past recognizes her and destroys the new life she's worked so hard to build, along with any chance of a future.

Twenty-five years earlier, Ruby Reyes, known as the Ice Queen, was convicted of a similar murder in a trial that riveted Canada in the early nineties. Reyes knows who Paris really is, and when she's unexpectedly released from prison, she threatens to expose all of Paris's secrets. Left with no other choice, Paris must finally confront the dark past she escaped, once and for all.

Because the only thing worse than a murder charge are two murder charges.

This book was so intriguing. You never knew where it was going to turn. Though, some things were a little unsurprising. Still, it kept me captured and I couldn’t put it down.

I could not put this book down, or didn’t want to at least. The way the story was broken up into parts and chapters really captivated the reader and set up the past vs. present storyline. I also enjoyed that the story was written from different viewpoints at times. It was such a captivating thriller with the perfect amount of detail. The whole time I was reading, it was like a movie unfolding in my mind. From beginning to end it completely grasped me. Definitely pick this one up!
