Home Before Dark, the latest from Riley Sager, Maggie Holt returns to the site of her family’s biggest secrets in order to learn the truth, about her childhood, her parents, and the book that sat between them. After her father’s death, she inherits the home they lived in for 3 weeks when she was a child, the one her parents claimed was haunted and drove them away. Hoping to find out the truth about what happened and prove the book that defined her life was a fraud, she finds that her father just may have been telling the truth. As she tries to battle the ghosts of her past, she finds some new ghosts which threaten to take her sanity, if not her freedom.
In his fourth novel in as many years, Sager continues to explore the theme of an isolated young woman trying to make sense of the past. I’ve yet to be disappointed by his work and look forward to whatever comes next from him.
