(This pattern means his next book should be a hit for me though, right?!). I struggled with his second release, The Last Time I Lied, then loved Lock Every Door, and have now found a new least favorite Sager novel in Home Before Dark. I’ve been a Riley Sager fan since Final Girls, though not all of his books work for me. Now we’re in a house with a fucking graveyard out back and our daughter acting weirder than she’s ever acted before and then this goddamn ceiling-‘ “ And Maggie and I have no choice but to go along with it. You debate and cajole until you get your way. That this was the house you wanted.’ / ‘You could have said-‘ / ‘No?’ Jess said, cutting me off. I saw it on your face the moment we stepped inside. ‘You loved this house, too.’ / ‘Not as much as you.

” ‘You’re the one who forced us to move into this godforsaken house.’ / ‘I didn’t force you!’ I yelled back. And of course when Maggie goes digging, she’ll find plenty of shocks, including some proof behind her father’s story, and some details that never made it into his book. The house has plenty of its own history to reveal as well. Now, as an adult, she returns to the house to fix it up and sell it, and search for clues about her family’s past. But Maggie has never believed he wrote the truth.

Maggie’s father produces an incredibly popular horror book based on what he argues to be the family’s exact experience. After only a few weeks, they flee, claiming the house is haunted and vowing never to return. In the novel, the Holt family moves into an old, gothic Vermont house when Maggie is a child. Today’s review, featuring Riley Sager’s latest thriller release, the haunted house tale Home Before Dark!
