Another great Jennifer Hillier book! Things we do in the dark is about a woman named Paige who is accused of murdering her famous & much older comedian husband. This story is filled with family trauma, lots of secrets, and keeps you engaged throughout the entire story. Although I was able to predicted and anticipate the ‘twists’ of the story, it was still a good read!

A little slower but the ending absolutely made up for it.

This is the story of Paris who is found one morning with a bloody knife in her hand next to her famous dead husband! What an opening scene! I was immediately drawn into the story as I tried to figure out whether Paris might be guilty or not.
Jennifer Hillier’s book Secret Lies was my favorite thriller last year so I automatically want to read all her books but this one, it wasn’t my favorite. It’s quite possible the next one was always going to struggle a little bit since my expectations were sky high. ‘The Things We Do In The Dark‘ left me somewhat conflicted. I very much enjoyed it but I expected more.
Still good, yet lacking that certain something that makes it awesome. That said, still a fan and I’ll definitely be at the front of the line when Jennifer Hillier drops her next book.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC of this book. I enjoyed this thriller that flashes back between present and past, introducing new mysteries while advancing the premise of wife charged with husband's murder. A great read.

4.5 stars Jennifer Hillier does it again!! A razor sharp page turner that begins with a seasoned Hollywood Comedian dead and his wife, 30 years his senior, being charged for murder.
Filled with secrets, lies, trauma, abuse, murder and money don’t miss this one!!
