I really enjoyed Things We Do in the Dark by Jennifer Hillier. 

It’s a thriller-mystery, but at the same time I feel like it focuses on the personal growth of the characters and the characters’ history; it doesn’t sacrifice the story by creating an over complicated mystery. 

I really enjoyed the different characters’ viewpoints and how section with a character peeled back the layers of the mystery. I really felt for the characters and I enjoyed that there were also aspects of Toronto’s history woven in. While it has heavy material I think it’s tragic yet heartwarming seeing the main character’s journey.
