A review by bethreneereadsbooks
Here in the Dark by Alexis Soloski

4.0

Vivian Parry is an actress-turned-theater critic in New York. She loves going alone to the theater- siting in her seat in the dark and taking in a show is the only time she truly feels human. And then she goes on to right brutal reviews of those same shows. And beyond that, she drinks.

Vivian begrudgingly agrees to be interviewed, and from the moment she meets her interviewer, she’s unsettled by him and his questions. The next thing she knows, he’s gone missing and she’s somehow right in the middle of the investigation. Things only get weirder from there.

I enjoyed this story, even though the characters were hard to connect with, and I, however improbably, guessed the twist very early on. It was still an entertaining and suspense-filled read right up to the end.

I also appreciated the bonus feature on the audiobook at the end: a conversation between author Alexis Soloski and narrator (and Broadway actress) Laura Benanti.

The audiobook was narrated to perfection by Laura Benanti.

Thank you Alexis Soloski, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley for providing this ALC for review consideration. All opinions expressed are my own.
