The Devil's Staircase by Helen Fitzgerald

4.0

Nice quick read, but I feel like this book was sold to me as something it wasn't.

I went in thinking it was gonna be a creepy thriller-horror type book, but no. I'm not really sure which category I would put this book in, but it's not exactly a horror or thriller. Also, the tagline on the cover of the book kind of spoiled some of it.

Especially as Bronny doesn't actually kill anyone until the very end of the book, and even then, it's in self-defence

There were a few moments where I audibly gasped such as

the reveal of the two other bodies in the basement, and the reveal that one of the bodies was Zach's missing sister, holy fuck man

. Overall, it clearly wasn't one of the best thriller books I've read, but yeah, it was good, and a quick read as I said before.
