Every house has a story to tell and Baneberry Hall has one hell of a story. People have died in that house and now it's said their ghosts are haunting it. Our MC, Maggie Holt has, with the passing of her Dad, inherited Baneberry Hall and she doesn't believe in ghosts. So she goes back to the house that she fled when she was five to get to the bottom of these allegations...allegations that her Dad (our other MC) wrote a book about and heavily perpetrated the existence of. Ping-ponging between each of the MC's we get the present with Maggie and the past with her Dad.
The narration was superbly performed and kept me in the story at all times, which, was enhanced by the superb writing skills of the author. Riley Sager is becoming my favorite male author...his books get better with each one he pens. Home Before Dark is smartly written, perfectly paced, creepily spooky, outrageously crafty, and wickedly twisty. I always find some readers that will say his endings are unbelievable...and when you sit and think on them for a bit...they actually are somewhat ludicrous, and yet they are so wildly entertaining, that it doesn't really matter to me.
