Okay, this section is just a few things I didn’t say above about plot inconsistencies since I didn’t want to give any spoilers. None of this ruined or even dampened my enthusiasm for the book, but these are just the things I noticed. I’m only noting them here because I figure other people noticed too and are wondering if others caught them as well. I was so engaged with this throughout; it got into my mind. The eeriness of the house and everything going on there. It was bloody fantastic. By the last quarter of the book, my head was spinning with possible theories on what could have happened. For me, this is when I have the most fun with mystery novels. There are characters with reasons to lie, characters with histories with one another, and new developments happening in each chapter.

Home Before Dark, Explained!

It is a very even series, that never has any deep valleys of boredom that most TV series eventually suffer from.

After it happened, Maggie’s parents thought it was Maggie who did it because they didn’t know what really happened that night, only that there was a physical altercation and Petra was dead.) But I think my father was also looking for something more spiritual; a confirmation of his own belief in the importance of transcendence & the vitality of the soul.I am a 39 year old male, who watches TV series all day long every day, year in and year out, and I am telling you that this series is some of the best I ever seen!

Flawless pacing, a dexterous dual narrative, and character through the roof. But the biggest revelation to be found in Home Before Dark is this: There’s nobody writing scarier books than Riley Sager is right now.” Del Rosario, Alexandra (March 26, 2021).

She lives at the water's edge on an island in Puget Sound, and she commutes to her writers' group in a 17-foot motorboat. She serves as author liaison for Field's End, a literary community on Bainbridge Island, Washington, bringing inspiration and instruction from the world's top authors to her seaside community. (See www.fieldsend.org) She's been featured in the national media, including NPR's "Talk of the Nation," and is a popular speaker locally and nationally. There was family drama, tragedy, adoption, relationship woes, child-rearing issues, love, and that doesn't even wrap it all up. It has a little of everything but enough that you felt the subject had been thoroughly covered. I really enjoyed the characters in this book, of course some more than others.

I am sure he is so pleased..🤣🤣...You are now up on the ledge with Peter, Liz and Samantha...no last names needed, they are like Madonna.....No but really...this book just flew to the top of my must read books. I loved every single thing about this book...literally everything. Fellow Riley Sager junkies, you've waited so patiently for me to slip out of my Covid-19 induced anxiety, and I'm here to tell you that I've shaken the funk and am feeling passionately encouraged to word vomit my thoughts about this book. Before I get started, you need to know going in that this book has a slightly altered feel to his previous novels, but I feel like this is a given, as each book he writes evolves into a new thrilling sub-genre. If I had to compare Home Before Dark to another one of Sager's books, I'd say that it would mostly align with Final Girls, as it portrays that same growing since of dread while serving a side of mainstream horror. The blurbs calling this a tale for fans of Hill House are spot on, and if you love a good ghost story, whether those ghosts are supernatural or manmade monsters, I think you'll adore this book. a b c d "Home Before Dark".

Quite literally fleeing in the middle of the night, her parents refused to ever return to the property. Her father then published a best-selling, purportedly nonfiction account of their time there. As you do. I think Ms. Wiggs was trying to show the lead character as a flawed but likeable person. I just couldn't get past her flaws. Jessie was completely self-absorbed to the point of being clinically narcissistic. But what kept me groaning in pain was the unrealistic scenarios. For example, a man grieving for two years for his dead wife decides within 10 minutes the girl is the one. He is in love. Then there is the troubled and rebellious teen who ends up with PTSD and everyone decides to shake her world with the truth about her parentage but no one....NOT ONE PERSON....suggests counseling. And once the teen hears the unbelievable truth....she shrugs and heads off to some school event. What? Ms. Wiggs did her research on photography, eye diseases, helping centers for the blind and yet completely missed the psychological aspects of her characters.
