Lock Every Door by Riley Sager

dark mysterious sad tense medium-paced

4.0

I actually enjoyed this book. Riley Sager has his flaws when it comes to writing female protagonists, and I have a lot of complaints about it in some of his other books. He definitely wants to make sure the main character is damaged in the worst way before the story starts. 
This one at least, had such a good atmosphere, and the twist was kind of bait and switch, which I really enjoyed.
I roll my eyes when most books (that weren't written in the 90s) introduce a satanist human sacrifice cult. Satanic panic is getting old. But this one took you down that road then veered way off the path.

The book was also a pretty biting social commentary about class difference and exploiting the desperation of the poor. 
This was my third Sager book, and it's my favorite so far.
