Things We Do in the Dark by Jennifer Hillier
3.0
I like Jennifer Hillier and her writing style, but this one wasn’t my favorite.
What worked: Opening scenes. Interesting character development. Compelling writing and some suspense.
What didn’t work:
-This story was very repetitive at times and could have used more edits.
-Back story was intriguing and added to the understanding of our main character, but didn’t help move the plot along enough for it to be integral.
-The book didn’t have thrills expected with a thriller, either. It felt more like a flawed domestic suspense novel. No real “twists” in my opinion, as they were all fairly obvious.
Overall, it was an enjoyable read but won’t go down as one of my favorite books, or thrillers, of 2022. Still really like Jennifer Hillier!
