I have enjoyed reading all of Riley Sager’s books and Home Before Dark was no exception. This one is part haunting suspense and psychological thriller. It isn’t terrifying or thought provoking but, rather, just a good entertaining tale. I looked forward to escaping to Baneberry Hall each evening while this was on my bedside.
Today, Maggie is a restorer of old homes and too young to remember any of the events mentioned in her father’s book. But she also doesn’t believe a word of it. Ghosts, after all, don’t exist. When Maggie inherits Baneberry Hall after her father’s death, she returns to renovate the place to prepare it for sale. But her homecoming is anything but warm. People from the past, chronicled in House of Horrors, lurk in the shadows. And locals aren’t thrilled that their small town has been made infamous thanks toMaggie’s father. Even more unnerving is Baneberry Hall itself—a place filled with relics from another era that hint at a history of dark deeds. As Maggie experiences strange occurrences straight out of her father’s book, she starts to believe that what he wrote was more fact than fiction.
Alternating between Maggie’s uneasy homecoming and chapters from her father’s book, Home Before Dark is the story of a house with long-buried secrets and a woman’s quest to uncover them—even if the truth is far more terrifying than any haunting.
I have a couple more books under my belt after a Spring Break full of rest and relaxation! I’ll be sharing those soon. As we look forward to summer, what’s on your bedside?
